Lois Ruby welcome!
If you’re a book traveler, come aboard. If you like books you can laugh with, books that quietly tug at your heart or make you a little bit mad, and especially books that urge you to think about lots of ideas and decisions touching the lives of people like you - well, then, you’ve come to the right place. Enjoy the trip!
Your Friend, Lois

what's new?
 
  Shanghai Shadows is finally out! Imagine it’s 1937, and your life will soon be in jeopardy in Austria. You flee across the world to China, the only place that will welcome you, your family, and some 20,000 other refugees. Phew, you’re safe, right? But then you’re pulled into the underground spy network, and you really grasp what danger means.

Also, look for my short play in a collection called "Today I Am" edited by Sandra Fenichel Asher. And for those of you waiting for that ghost story we talked about, well, no publication date’s in sight. I'll let you know ASAP.
