Bill Moyers was a guiding light for me. He gave me my first blurb, on a book about growing up in Dallas during the Kennedy assassination. I was a nobody and he was a somebody with a very generous heart.

Thanks, Mark, honored to have you as a reader.
Just finished @lawrence_wright's new novel, 'The Human Scale,' set in Israel and Gaza on the eve of October 7. It’s a murder mystery and political thriller wrapped around deeply reported nonfiction reporting. /1

In Feb 2023 I was in Hebron gathering material for my novel THE HUMAN SCALE. This Israeli soldier assaulted Issa Amro, who was showing me the Old City. Now the book is out and I hope readers will understand what's really going on.
