Bestselling Austrian Again author https://mybook.to/HPWT Hobbyist chef/pro eater. My views. 🇦🇹 🇪🇺 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 and always a proud Masshole.
Extra thankful for libraries - that I was fortunate to grow up in and around, and I am excited are stocking #austrianagain. I hope people can stumble across my book, in that magical way libraries facilitate, the way I have stumbled across books that ultimately changed my life. #booksky #author

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who came out at Temple Rodef Shalom in Virginia yesterday to a wonderful afternoon panel, where I spoke about #austrianagain and my experience with 58c Austrian restoration citizenship. Great turnout, lovely to see the conversations flowing afterward!

Speechless after a lovely, touching evening w Congregation Beth Elohim. Thanks to the Adult Education Committee and Rabbi David for bringing #AustrianAgain to the place where I became Bat Mitzvah for #JewishBookMonth. Thanks to community coming out for the talk + staying for company and conversation

Thrilled for a very special conversation about #AustrianAgain at @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social in #ConcordNH Oct 23 6:30pm with author Dina Rueb Romero. Lots to dig into - the history, our family stories, the writing process. Hope you can make it!

Crazy that pre-orders for #AustrianAgain start in ONE MONTH!!! Barreling towards release date, here's a preview of the full cover! #firstbook #newbooks 🇦🇹📚

With #AustrianAgain being published, and being a real author, I'll have done the Big Life Things I wanted to do, or thought I could do, since I was young.

I turn 40 this year. If (hopefully) I'm halfway through, I guess I'll just need to dream bigger for that second half.

Final cover art for #AustrianAgain AND pre-order (Sept 1) and release (Oct 20) dates set! Crazy. Now, it's all about outreach, starting to set up reviews, interviews, podcasts...crazy. This is all new to me...looking forward to building the road as I go, with a little help from my friends #firstbook

Supposed to get revised cover art back this week for #AustrianAgain! So exciting!!! It will be a variation of this, but with more visual cues to what the book is about. I wanted abstract, but this was a little too much.

Sooooo got some #AustrianAgain cover ideas back from the wonderful (real, not AI) designer. She sent more, but from initial surveys, most people are gravitating towards one of these. Thoughts? Can suggest edits directly as part of feedback to the designer. 📚🇦🇹🥰

On this #InternationalHolocaustRememberanceDay, I am reviewing the proofs of #AustrianAgain. A little afraid to publish, but I know this story needs life. Here is a letter from family members in 1938, wondering if they could still get out to South America, but also wondering if it would be worth it
