The first book in the series of 3-language electronic, print, audiobooks, podcasts and lectures is close to publication in November-December this year

I am preparing a series of informational materials for publication on the topic of defense in neglect and abuse proceedings in New York.

The series will include:


  • 15 single-language books (as planned now) covering various aspects of child neglect and abuse proceedings, from the point of prosecuted parents;
  • podcasts;
  • lectures/courses of study 

The books will come in three formats:
    • electronic books (Kindle or other electronic format, I am deciding);
    • print;
    • audiobooks
and in three languages:
      • English - author's version;
      • Russian - author's version;
      • Spanish - translation
The first book of the series is planned to come out in November-December of this year. 

It will be in English and will be in electronic and print format.


I hope to release the matching audio-book, podcast and a lecture/educational course close in time.

Of course, it is a steep learning curve for me to learn new tricks at my old age - podcasts, audiobooks, online lectures, designing your own book covers...

Yet, it is as exciting as it is difficult, and I value more than anything else my independence from any kind of licensing and permits.

Self-publishing your own books is not yet licensed in this great country, as nearly everything else is, so I will share my knowledge this way.

The Spanish version will be published as soon as the translation is ready.  I am working with potential producers and presenters of the Spanish-version podcasts, audiobooks and lectures.

The Russian set will follow the English version.

It is a large project and, I am sure, will take a long time to complete.

Yet, I think that such information is badly needed for the public, and I will do my best to provide it.

Update as of March 26, 2016 - suspension of my law license on November 13, 2015, and the time required to fight it, delayed the book's, and the series', publication, but I am working on it.
