It's a bit late, but the "baby" had to spend a little more time in the ICU than expected.
With gratitude to God and lots of really wonderful humans, I am happy to announce the birth of the book, and its subsequent transfer from the safety of the incubator to global distribution. L'chayim!

Happily, little "Big Whine"** is now available from other vendors.
If you live in Israel, New Zealand (Hi, Kiwi!), Northern Ireland (Hi, Valerie!) or the rest of the UK, my personal favorite book seller is Book Depository. They deliver directly to Israel, and their service is timely and professional. (We once received a book that was mangled. I sent photos. They sent a new book in record time. Can you say "customer service"?)
And, of course, there is trusty ol' Amazon, and Amazon UK, and Amazon Spain (I know, right?), and Amazon Saturn...
(If you see the book available elsewhere, please feel free to share in the comments section below.)
Next item on my personal bucket list: to see From Big Whine to Big Grapes (perhaps in time for Chanukah?) in the window of my favorite book store on the planet. (Feel free to click on the link to let Michael and Shira Pomeranz know you're interested.)
When we popped the cork on the champagne in my writing class, a brief conversation ensued.
Sarina (teacher, friend, mentor extraordinaire): I love that sound. It's the sound of celebration.
Ruti (a somewhat mouthy and by sport a contradictory student): Yeah, that's the traditional approach. I think of it as the sound of the next project.
Sarina (ever encouraging): I like that. Write it down.
Ruti (occasionally compliant): Yes, Ma'am.
If you like the book and feel inclined, please write a review at Amazon and/or at Lulu. Nothing sells a book like the kindness of strangers, and friends!
*If you have a book inside you and would love advice about self-publishing through Lulu Publishers, I would be very happy to talk with you. #sharingiscaring
**Nearly every kid has a nickname, right? We love you, BW!!! Make us proud, kid.
Just ordered a copy of the book. Can't wait to read it. Wishing you much success.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Batya!
DeleteI am already waiting for Book No 2 and will order Book No 1 via Book Depository. Glad they stock it, I won't buy from Amazon on principle (they avoid paying taxes). A heads up, my hubs found that Amazon take forever to pay you for books they sell too, so a bit of advance warning. Lots of love and well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information... and thank you so much for your support, Kiwi!
DeleteWonderful --truly similar to birthing -and the result a baby that all love and hug that grows to a grownup ho accomplishes so much. I wish you that your new amazing book will grow to something big that will result in time to have been the motivation for many people to love Israel and yearn to come on aliya as you have ! Congrats on the success of your efforts towards this delivery ! Hoping to buy and read very soon .
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anita! We do indeed share the goal of motivating people to see the beauty in this land, to love it, to come Home to it. Your words are a beautiful bracha!
DeleteMazal Tov, Ruti!!! So happy for you, and all your readers! May many sales ensue. Ordering my copy soon! Much love ~Miryam
