Tsvi Jolles

Tsvi Jolles lives with his wife and son in a cozy suburb just an hour north of Atlanta, where the cicadas provide the perfect summer soundtrack.

When he’s not writing, Tsvi finds inspiration in travel, nature, meditation, swimming, or getting lost in audiobooks (because after a day of rewriting a new chapter, it’s nice to just gaze at the horizon). He enjoys listening to his Audible library in multiple languages—Italian, Spanish, German, French, and of course, English.

He loves connecting with readers and diving into their reviews, staying in sync with the imaginations that bring his stories to life.
