Subject: Bullets Aren't Kosher - New Release

Years in the making...
Hi Friend,

I'm so excited about this new release! You can check it out here.

Have you ever carried a heavy backpack for so long, when you took it off you felt pounds lighter?

Similar thing with this book, Bullets Aren't Kosher, the fourth in The Torah Codes series. I carried its creation for a long time and now that it's published, I feel like I'm on a cloud. And as my reliable reviewer (my Mom) said, "It's your best book yet!" 

The premise? Here it is:

Have you ever woke up wondering where you were? Who you were? And why you were wanted for murder?

Man, I had a great time writing this one. Author Ien Nivens described it this way: "Bullets Aren't Kosher delivers an onslaught of twists and turns with the punch of a prize-fighter who does stand-up between rounds."
The evolution of the story...
From the opening of the movie “Dark City,” to “The Fifth Bullet” episode in the Castle television series, to “Bourne Identity,” the stories that used the amnesia trope always grabbed me by the throat and wouldn’t let go. I loved them so much, I had to try incorporating that trope in one of my books. 


It was exciting to see how my main character worked at figuring out who he was, and especially interesting to discover his inner struggle at determining if he was a good person or not.


I sprinkled in other characters: ones requiring redemption, and others who society deemed to be “bad people.” I poured this concoction of characters into a thick plot and stirred in a good helping of danger. 

Coming up with danger required dreaming up things. Disturbing things. Things like murder. And kidnapping. And romance.
This book has all those things, so be forewarned.

The first page of Bullets Aren't Kosher
Ouch. My head.


One of my temples pounded like a hammer. A hammer hitting bundles of dynamite.


Where the hell was I?


The cold wooden floorboards pressed against my cheek, my whole body flush to the cool surface.


Why was I on the floor?


Mariachi music blared nearby. Was I in Mexico?


I wanted to go back to sleep. My head fogged with no lighthouse in sight. I would have fallen back to sleep if it weren’t for the other body lying on the floor. She lay face down. I could only see her blonde hair and ponytail.


Damn, I hoped she wasn’t dead. That would suck.


I struggled to push myself off the ground but my muscles whined, so I gave up. For some reason, my waist felt colder than the rest of me, I felt wet there. The small pool of blood answered some questions.
