I am indebted to Israelin Shockness, the author, for her professional skills and sensitivity in helping organize the material in this book.” Client, commissioner of Pilgrim’s Journey, a biography in memory of her deceased husband.

I wish to express my gratitude to Israelin Shockness for the prodigious task of being co-author with enormous tact and skill. Her patience, research, and discerning knowledge and empathy have given this autobiography whatever merit it may have.” Albert Stal, commissioner of Divided Journey, a co-authored autobiography, based on his escape from, and survival of, the Holocaust.

I am very pleased with my autobiography and thank Israelin Shockness for her good work in writing it. It has shown my struggles and my successes in life, and this is what I want to share with others. I have a strong trust in God, who has helped me through it all. I want to share this saying with others: I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good work, therefore any kindness I could render to any soul of man or animal, let me do it. Let me never neglect or refer it. For I will not pass this way again.

To Mrs. Shockness, writer and author.  I cannot praise you too highly for the excellent job of writing you did to bring alive and vibrant the words you wrote.  It carried me back some 53 years ago when I relived every moment of my career during that period of time as if it was yesterday.   Surprises of surprises. You were able to print the very important part of my book on the cover where it belonged. Congratulations on a job well done. Need I say more?” ~ Benjamin Yanover, commissioner of The Littlest Pilot, a co-authored autobiography, based on his bombing exploits over North Africa during the Second World War.

Thanks for the wonderful work you did proofing and editing my book. It really sounds good now. Thanks again.

Great! You have transformed my book into a work of art, and I thank you for this. I knew what I wanted to say, but the words just couldn’t come out

I knew when I sent you my document that it was a real mess.  I must say that it was a real blessing when I opened the package and saw that you were able to organize my story.  I appreciate the hard work you did editing and restructuring my story.
