Love at First Bite

Dr. Yair Ben Ziony, a small-animal practitioner and the owner of a veterinary clinic in Israel, was born in an Israeli village founded by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. He studied at the Hebrew University's Faculty of Agriculture and graduated with honors from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Bologna, Italy. He completed his post-doctoral studies in 1967. He has lectured at numerous international veterinary conferences, and his research papers have been published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association and quoted worldwide. Dr. Ben Ziony is a widower, a father of four children, and a grandfather of nine. His memoir Love at First Bite is dedicated to the loving memory of his wife, Vicky.

Paul Boehmer attended his first Shakespearean play while in high school; he knew then that he was destined to become the classically trained actor he is today. Graduating with a master's degree, Paul was cast as Hamlet by the very stage actor who inspired his career path. A nod from the Universe he'd chosen aright! Paul has worked on Broadway and extensively in regional theater. Coinciding with another of his passions, sci-fi, Paul has been cast in various roles in many episodes of Star Trek. Paul's love of literature and learning led him by nature to his work as a narrator for audiobooks, his latest endeavour. Paul is married to the love of his life, Offir, and they live in Los Angeles with their two midnight-rambling tomcats, Dread and David.
