Phil M. Cohen’s pas­sion for sto­ry­telling emerges from his love of read­ing fic­tion and his com­mit­ment to the Jew­ish tra­di­tion. Through his edu­ca­tion, he’s learned how to cre­ate and inter­pret sto­ries; how to grap­ple with philo­soph­i­cal ques­tions; and how to write fic­tion. From his rab­binic work, he’s gained insight into the world. From realms unknown and a bit scary, Phil M. Cohen con­tin­ues to dis­cov­er his cre­ative imag­i­na­tion. He is the author of near­ly twen­ty pub­lished sto­ries, dozens of arti­cles and papers, and of the eBook Lucky 13. He blogs for The Times of Israel, as well as at his web­site, philm​co​hen​.com, where he inter­views authors and oth­er lit­er­ary fig­ures. He writes flash fic­tion and short sto­ries, as well as all the things cler­gy write. Nick Bones Under­ground is the first of a trilogy.
