Stories/Travels

Born in New York, raised in Toronto, Jill Culiner has lived in several cars, one closet, a Hungarian mud house, a Bavarian castle, a Turkish cave dwelling, in a haunted house on the English moors, in the Sahara desert, on a Greek island, in several French villages and has worked as a go-go girl, belly dancer, fortune teller, translator, newspaper deliverer, radio broadcaster, contemporary artist, photographer, actress and writer. She has written two mysteries, Sad Summer in Biarritz, and Death by Slanderous Tongue. Her other books are: Finding Home In the Footsteps of the Jewish Fusgeyers, winner of the Tannenbaum Award for Canadian Jewish History; Félix et moi: à la recherche du patrimoine; a photography book, Sans s'abolir pourtant; and four romances. She now resides in a 400-year-old former inn in a French village of no real interest. Much to everyone's dismay, she protects all living creatures--especially spiders--and her wild (or wildlife) garden is a classified butterfly and bird reserve.

In the early 1960s there was no place to eat pizza in Toronto (as far as we knew). The closest was across the border, in the U.S.A., but that wasn't too far away for "Crash" Caplan, a youth known for wrecking cars in terrible accidents.

Velvel Zbarzher, rebel, songster, and glittering star of fusty inns, spent his life singing his Enlightenment poems to loyal audiences of poor workers and craftsmen in Austrian-Galicia, Romania, Vienna and Istanbul. His attacks condemning the religious stronghold resulted in banishment and itinerancy, but for Velvel and the other like the other reformers of his time, the compensations were great: heady stimulation, and an intellect...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
