About The Author
I started writing totally 'by chance', as they say.
A former screenwriter that studied with me in my first law degree told me that I was talented and that he thinks I should give it a try.
I wrote about thirty pages and forgot all about it.
Two years later, again 'by chance' of course, I met this girl I knew years before and that was now some kind of psychic.
After two minutes of small-talk she suddenly asked out of the blue - "maybe you wrote something?".
At first I said no, because I didn't even remember it, but then I told her that in fact I did.
"That's your purpose in life," she immediately replied, "you'll be a great Author."
That conversation totally 'flipped me over' because there wasn't the slightest chance she could have known about it.
As time went by I have completed my first novel, but no publisher wanted it. An unknown writer, not a celebrity or something like that, why should they take a chance?
But because I strongly believed in myself, and even though I was already quite respectful divorce-mediation lawyer and even taught divorce-mediation in Bar-Ilan university, I took a chair and a folding table, and sat in the middle of the main street of Tel-Aviv selling my book to passers-by.
Even though I started getting very good reviews and letters from readers in social media, I couldn't have my books be sold at bookstores because the distributors didn't want to take a chance with a self-published book.
It took as much as three years, but eventually people started asking for my book at the bookstores. I beat them.
Within two more years my first novel became a best-seller, and just recently I have published my fifth book.
So don't ever let anyone tell you something is not possible, and I really hope you'll enjoy my writings.
With lots of love,
Aviv."

“The Knight Must Die” (A Novel)
“A different, other, cynical, insolent, daring, shaking the head and kicking the face book.
The writing is psychotic borderline brilliance“
“The Middle Kingdom” (A Rhymed Allegory)
"A wild work like no other. your grandchildren will study it at literature classes"
The story of the red banana monkeys kingdom. The work is written entirely in rhymes and is told as a kind of poem that describes in a special and significant way another possibility for the events that took place during former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination.
“Marvelee” (A Children’s book)
Sweet, wise and enchanting story in which father tells his little girl about the change in his life after she turned him into a dad.
Draggy The Dragon (A Children’s book)
Reviews:
The Knight Must Die:
“Mistakenly, I thought that this was a book that easily entered the genre of flight books, but when I read – or rather, got sucked into it – I slowly realized that it was not the case – but the exact opposite.
I do not know if Geva, the author of this important work, is aware of his unique talent, as a writer, or in this case to be precise, as a “story teller” – and to the many tiers that his writing contains.
“The Knight Must Die” contains philosophical and existential elements that ask the reader questions about his condition, surroundings, emotions and feelings.
It is a book that raised questions about solipsism and touched me at extraordinary depths. This is a very stimulating book – feelings, emotions, thoughts – and thus its greatness and uniqueness.”

*****
"Honest, touching, melancholic but strangely uplifting, it was a fantastic read. beautiful, unique, strange, and compelling voice."
