Libby Cone's Biography

Member Info

Philadelphia
I am married to the man I met on the nascent Internet in 1995, Tom.
Apr 2008

I am a radiologist who was bored with work, and embarked on a ten-year odyssey to get an MA in Jewish Studies. After I independently published my thesis, a novel called War on the Margins, I aggressively marketed it on US and European blogs, and am happy to announce that it has been published by Duckworth Publishers in paperback and Kindle editions in the UK and in Kindle edition in the US.

The book is about the Holocaust playing out in microcosm on the tiny Channel Island of Jersey, which was occupied by German soldiers and Nazi functionaries for the duration of World War II.

I have just released my second book, about a blind kid growing up in colonial Delaware. It is called Flesh and Grass. This has cut into my usually avid reading. I still knit a lot.
