Well I'm just glad that E.J. has finally been revealed. As we can all see, E.J. looks nothing like Jeff (thank the Goddess).
Wait! Now #18 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Horror > Ghosts?
Jeff Cohen HORROR??? Given that today (Tuesday, October 1) sees the release of the latest Haunted Guesthouse mystery e-novella AN OPEN SPOOK, we thought you might like to see a personal message, on camera, from E.J. Copperman. So here's a link: (and here's the video)! (By the way, any authors...
Jeff, I wouldn't think of asking you for a free copy. I'll either buy one, acquire one, or receive a copy as a gift (hopefully) from a dear friend.
So you're safe from me! (this time! mwa ha haaa)
Do I Ask You to Work For Free?
Jeff Cohen A few days ago I posted a (blurry) photograph (taken on my phone) to Twitter and Facebook. It showed an open carton of books, specifically of CHANCE OF A GHOST, the Haunted Guesthouse mystery by E.J. Copperman which will publish on Feb. 5. The points I was trying to make were: 1. It'...
Happy 55th Jeff, a hearty Mazel Tov even. Thank you for those well penned words about the man who sent many many young people exploring the worlds of science and engineering when they went to College and Uni.
We all sat amazed as we watched that scene in black and white on our tv sets. It just seems that we are losing so many of the great ones these past two years.
We also lost the Queen of Stand up. Dame Phyllis Diller, who many don't remember was also a gifted pianist. You wont find that fact in too many places. I do remember one tv show that had her playing against a rather well known pianist of that day.
So Rest Well all you who made us think or made us laugh.
Awesome Dude
Jeff Cohen At the end of next month, I will mark ("celebrate" might be too festive a word) my 55th birthday. So I have a decent number of life experiences to look back on, and hopefully a good number yet to come. I have been lucky and unlucky, amazed and bored, mortified and thrilled. I was pres...
The only thing I can see which would place them in New Jersey is the fact that your state is also famous for the deer and bear hunting seasons.
Your state earns loads of money for license fees in the regular, black powder, handgun, and bow hunting seasons.
Other then that, the site is incidental and the friend calling in the other hunter's problem is a moron.
That's Not Funny!
Jeff Cohen Warning: What follows is not, in the opinion of this blogger, the world's funniest joke. It has been well documented that the world's funniest joke was used as a weapon that helped Britain win World War II all by itself. Please do not assume the management (ha!) of this blog believes ...
Mazel Tov Jeff to you (for your hard work)and to your Josh on his accomplishments and his graduation. My Josh was also tested out for a problem. They wanted to make him a special ed. student. He had a "processing" problem. What he heard and what he could put on paper did not always match up. The answer with him was for the rabbis to give him his tests orally.
He now has his Masters in Spec. Ed. and a 2nd Masters in Administration. Those specialists don't always know what they are doing and are prepared to just dump kids who are different into the other pot and forget about them. We as parents have to fight and work with our kids to show them how to find a path that works for them.
Your Josh is going to surprise the world in the coming years and make your whole family go HA TAKE THAT! at the world.
My Different Son
Jeff Cohen With thanks to Susan Werner: The first doctor told us that Josh, then just about two years old, was and always would be, "eccentric." I responded, not having filtered my words through my brain on their way out, that we were a middle class family and couldn't afford "eccentric." The b...
Jeff, I can't thank you enough for answering so many personal questions I had about the New Jersey. I already knew about the farms and orchards (having 4 kids to entertain on a weekend will do that). I already knew about the world renowned Colleges and Universities the state abounds with.
You answered the question as to why my sister in law and her family couldn't wait to run away from lovely Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn to live in Jersey. SHE WAS BORN SPEAKING YOUR STATE LANGUAGE!!!!
You've also got the only Six Flags operation in reasonably close proximity to Brooklyn. LOL
Thanks for the talk about the Garden State.
Why Wouldn't I?
Jeff Cohen Why do you live where you live? Recently, a reader asked me, in a very roundabout way, why I live in New Jersey. The implied message was that, as a writer, I could live anywhere I want (apparently he hasn't met many writers and doesn't know about our financial constraints), so why on...
Hi Jeff, I wish I could have been there. What with my FIL's health and my computer crashing every five minutes these past three weeks I just didn't have the time or cash for this lovely conference. I WILL BE THERE NEXT YEAR COME HELL OR HIGH WATER!
Did you take any photos to post on FB? I'd love to see them.
Malice Stuff (Now With One Picture!)
Jeff Cohen Me (um, third from left) with, from left, Meredith Cole, Cynthia Chow, Leann Sweeney, Lorraine Bartlett and Heather Webber (in background, Luci "the Poison Lady" Zahray and PJ Coldren) BETHESDA, MD--Every once in a while, it's nice to go somewhere other than one's home and preten...
Thank you for answering and explaining the reason why I always get red lines under those particular words when I'm writing a review.
Oh, and have a Wonderful Pesach

10 Things College Students Don't Know About English
Jeff Cohen For the past two weeks, I've been between terms at the teaching gig, which is an odd time. You get into a rhythm with these things, but you're glad to have the break after you get through all the grading at the end of the term. Which is, believe me, a trial. I believe my students try ...
Jeff,
You're day in the son will happen, hopefully this year. I love the Copperman books very much. As to not wanting an award. I actually know someone, that if she were to win, would not be there to accept the honor.
She's a ROMANCE WRITER (Bodice Ripper type) who is also from a Chassidic family in the NY area. I happen to know her brother who let slip one day the fact that she's a writer. For all I know I've read and enjoyed her books at one time or another. LOL
Should We Award This Kind of Behavior?
Jeff Cohen It's that time of year again, boys and girls. The Golden Globe Awards were handed out last night. I'm actually writing this BEFORE the awards show, and probably won't watch, since I couldn't care less about the Golden Globes, but they have a certain significance, and it is not the on...
Oh please Jeff, when do I EVER disagree with you? Although, best comic... I'm going with the one who gave Sullivan the finger on National Television. I just can't remember his name. LOL
No, These Are NOT Opinions.
Jeff Cohen 1. Best Enterprise captain? Kirk. 2. Best band? Beatles. 3. Best Bond? Connery. 4. Best director? Hitchcock. 5. Best team? Yankees (I'll allow for bias here, plus 27 championships). 6. Best Yankee? Gehrig. Seriously. Look up the numbers; they're frightening. 7. Best computer? Apple...
Having put 4 kids through college I now understand where your motivation and humor are coming from. Which means I'll just have to work harder at making my reviews of your great books more captivating to my readers. You need more sales so you can be funnier.
The Answer You Give; The Answer You're Thinking
Jeff Cohen Frequently Asked Questions So tell us about your new book. Well, it continues the Double Feature mystery series, and this time, Alison has to deal with a ghostly client who thinks he might have had a hand in a murder, but isn't sure because he's blind. But it's funny. Really. It's ...
Jeff, she sounds like a very well grounded young woman. I hope my grand daughter's turn out that well.
She'll bring you tons of nachus.
All About Eve (slightly revised)
Jeff Cohen A few weeks ago, when finishing an interview with my wife, I jokingly suggested that if enough people responded to that one, perhaps I'd follow up by interviewing one of my children. At least, I thought I was joking. My 18-year-old daughter Eve, who as with most daughters has her d...
