More good news on my book GHOSTS OF BERLIN: it has made it into Literary Hub's Best of 2019 list. I'd like to thank the jury for selecting my book for this big honor.

"Herzog’s stories are utterly atmospheric, engrossing, refreshing, and devoid of pretense; they are a cut-and-dry updated narrative of Berlin, a city continually relearning how to bear its history." - LitHub
