about me

I am a writer, published author and documentary photographer residing in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I would love to meet with other writers here and share our work on the Authonomy forum.

I love to write; love to read (best at short glimpses, where I basically take one fascinating phrase, sentence or paragraph... take it apart, hack it, slaughter it ....

REcreate it.
I love such games.
So let's have a dialogue here!

While the Sands Whisper

Linda Ruth Horowitz

"A Bedouin is as fast as the wind, hard as a rock, soft as the sea...... and forever free" a Muzeina Bedouin


Set in the merciless world of the Bedouin underground, the mountainous Sinai desert, “While the Sands Whisper,” is about Ayishah, a freelance American/Israeli documentary photographer, whose story deals with her childhood; the parallels between the American Jewish Mafia of her father... and her own adventures with the Bedouin of Sinai, romantic & otherwise.

Based on true events, Ayishah also wrestles with her own personal past, while her journey sweeps her through dusty Landrover tracks of barren terrain together with the Bedouin, experiencing their roguish lifestyle, their poetic culture, as well as their trafficking of drugs and innocent women, victims of the Russian mafia underground.

The Bedouin functioning as middlemen, taking these poor women through the desert towards the Israeli frontier, to face a life of prostitution in Tel Aviv's brothels, Ayishah's destiny, eventually entangled with two Russian women, when they are forced to leave Sinai together, to the forbidding no-mans-land between Egypt and Israel.

...so appreciate your interest in my novel Linda... i'm well aware of the footnote problem, and have already started erasing them and integrating the definitions into the text.

....hi Jo, sorry for my delay, but I've been buried under a Five Page Synopsis, which is a larger project than i imagine.... you have a unique personal style. The slang you use adds character and a slower paced, 'southern' mood....i feel it right away.... Although it's not the style i usually read, ... view book
