"The Apple Tree Blossoms in the Fall is a fascinating story! It transported me to a time and place where human relationships and habits were different from today."

The Islamic revolution is imminent. Carineh, an Armenian beauty, knows it is time to leave Iran. The country she grew up in is drawing back to its Islamic roots. Carineh would vehemently hate to wear a veil, to the point that she is willing to say goodbye to her homeland, her father’s resting place, her family and friends.

In The Apple Tree Blossoms in the Fall, Carineh narrates stories of her life in an Iran before Ayatollah’s time. She also recounts tales about her new life in Europe and America. This book offers a unique insight into Iran, Islam, Armenian culture, and the fascinating life of a jet-setting woman.

“Inspiring, light-hearted fantasy novel. Great for the soul
Planet Heaven, a total replica of Earth where I can choose where to live, travel at the speed of light, meet my long gone relatives, friends, pets and look forward to seeing my loved ones when their turn comes. This book's description of Planet Heaven is chicken soup for the soul!"

What if after death, we find ourselves on a planet that is the exact replica of Heaven?

Let’s call it Planet Heaven. On this planet, there would be seven continents and the same countries as on our own planet. Up there, we would move at the speed of light and come across all the people that we know here on Earth. Yes, it’s a place of goodness, but even there, evil lurks in the dark corners. That’s were Martha finds herself after attending her own funeral. On Planet Heaven, accompanied by her uncle and her childhood pet, a witty German shepherd, she sets out to find Gorges Bizet, the nineteenth-century French composer who died young after his opera Carmen was mercilessly trashed by critics on its opening night. Martha wants to bring Bizet news of his great fame after his death, as well as to let him know how Carmen has become one of the most popular operas on Earth. Little does Martha know that she is about to dive head-first into the mysterious and risky adventure.
