Signing/Talk Official

The plans are set for Adam’s talk and book signing at the Fair Lawn (NJ) Jewish Center on Sunday, November 9. The 7 PM event will be a joint function of both the Fair Lawn and Glen Rock USY chapters. USY and its basketball league inspired Adam’s debut novel, Coaching Ira, the story of a Jewish youth group basketball team and their hapless coach. Adam will discuss the great and little-known Jews of Sport, the genesis of Ira, and host a sports trivia contest. Most importantly, there’ll be snacks.

For more information contact USY advisor Darin at FLGRUSY@aol.com.

What’s Next?

So what’s Adam up to now? Although mum on most of the details, Adam says he is “working on a project in the sci-fi/adventure genre. It’s something that’s been written on scratch paper for years and now it’s really taking form. To say it’s going to be an epic would be presumptuous, but I think it could be quite a saga.”

Adam also says, “Don’t let the sci-fi tag fool you. This is a story inspired by current events, so I feel it’s got something for everyone.”

The Ira Tour, Second Leg

After taking a much-needed summer hiatus from the road, Adam resumes his tour to promote Coaching Ira. Adam’s next appearance will take place at the Fairlawn (New Jersey) Jewish Center on the night of Sunday, November 9th. His talk will be part of a celebration of USY awareness week. USY is the Jewish youth organization featured in Coaching Ira.
