"Following the #Hamas-led #Oct7 attacks on #Israel, #Jewish #authors have described an increasingly hostile environment in traditional #publishing. In fact, the number of #books marketed as Jewish have declined over the past three years — pointing to either fewer Jewish books, or fewer #publishers willing to market them as Jewish.
Even so, the demand for Jewish #romance #novels from Jewish readers has flourished, aided by The Matzah Ball’s #author #JeanMeltzer and a #bookclub she started called Jewish Joy.
“I think a reason why the community grew is because of what the romance genre itself offers the reader, which is basically happiness,” says #HeidiShertok, the author of two #Orthodox Jewish #romances and a leader of Jewish Joy. “We’re going to give you that happily ever after, no matter the struggles and the obstacles and the difficulties that the character is facing. And I think we need that so much right now, especially as #Jews.”

Recommended Reading List: May 2026
With school over (as of the first week of May), I have more time to read. I occasionally binged a novel. I’ve had some down days as the chronic health issues flared and on one lovely day, I read two entire novels, something I hadn’t done since the damn dental surgeries of 2023. It was […]…

Summer Lovin’
Annie Reed and Dave Hendrickson invited me to participate in their summertime romance anthology, Sunkissed Summer. I love writing for anthologies, and as my life is getting less hectic, I have more time to do so. (I had hoped to be in their previous volumes, but time and attention allow that to be possible.) Sunkissed Summer features […]…

Detecting All Sorts of Criminals in All Sorts of Settings
Dean Wesley Smith and I just launched a brand new Kickstarter for our Detectives Collide project. Several years ago, Kickstarter began a fun January promotion called “Make 100.” The idea was to put together 100 of something and create a Kickstarter for it. So, of…

Recommended Reading List (Belated Edition): June 2025
For those of you who are coming late to this party, I got very far behind recording the books that I have loved over the past year. I usually do it when the month of reading ends. For almost eight months, I was unable to do that. I posted May’s edition in early…

Romantic Holiday Cheer
We’ve reached the point in the season where folks are feeling stressed. It might be the looming year’s end. It might be the crush of Christmas obligations for those who celebrate. It might simply be all the darkness (in this hemisphere, at least). To cope with the holiday stress, I read holiday romances. And I […]…

Recommended Reading List (Belated Edition): May 2025
Yep, I’m late. I was busy last year working on saving the business, so I got behind on things like the Recommended Reading List. I thought of bunching everything into one list, but I didn’t want to, and then I thought of pretending I hadn’t missed, and I didn’t want…

Fracturing Fairy Tales
I write fractured fairy tales under the name Kristine Grayson. I have a slightly (okay, not so slightly) weird sense of humor and it appears in these books. I also ask burning questions such as…what if Bluebeard was framed? Three of my Kristine Grayson novels appear in the Charming Trilogy #2, which is one of ten […]…
