| The Book of Zev |
The opening
quote is what inspired me to want to write this story: “The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (and women) to do nothing.” A
man I met on a train as I was returning from a screenwriting conference where I
had conducted a workshop on creating great characters using my trademarked
writing system inspired the Book of Zev. This man was a religious Jew who was
travelling to different orthodox communities to try to find a place where he
fit in. His questions about faith mirrored my own. We talked for three hours
and the next thing I knew, I was writing a book.

The Book of Zev is a psychological thriller that tells the story of two gentle people who change the course of history. Zev Bronfman, a strapping 32-year old-virgin, angry atheist, refugee from a religious Jewish life, and former engineer for the U.S. Patent Office in Alexandria, Virginia, drives a cab and sleeps around in New York City. After a bitter divorce, Sarah Hirshbaum, a beautiful, redheaded, depressed, God-hating kosher chef, seesaws between yoga and too much red wine. Independently, the two consult the same psychic who inadvertently sends Sarah Zev’s session tape. When Sarah contacts Zev to pick up the recording, a series of events forces them to connect with a powerful terrorist in order to thwart his plans to destroy the UN and Israel.
