Neva has enjoyed a variety of life and educational experiences. She lived abroad for a few years in both Belgium and Israel. She learned to read, write and speak modern Hebrew at the Hebrew University–well enough to communicate with neighbors and businesses. Her experiences in those countries taught her to appreciate the religions and cultures of other countries.
Her careers included both religious and high tech work.
Her life now is centered on the various aspects of writing. She is a member of a writers club and served as membership chair for three years. Participation in a critique group, regular writing classes and reading books about writing help hone her skills. The camaraderie of other writers and their encouragement have proven invaluable.
She lives in northern California with her husband and is glad her son lives close enough to visit often. They encourage her to pursue writing.
