Co-editor (with Diana L. May) of WOUNDS OF WAR: POETS FOR PEACE (January, 2006, PublishAmerica).
WOUNDS OF WAR: POETS FOR PEACE brings together, in poems, stories and essays, the voices of those personally affected by war. These are voices of parents, of children, of friends, of soldiers and others who have a large stake in the wars, present and past, that our country has participated in. We hear the patriotic voices, the voices of dissent and rage, the voices of sorrow, pain, fear and tears, the voices of pride and love. All these voices are gathered together here to hopefully make the experience of war something more than another headline in the morning’s paper. An experience to be felt by us through their words, their hearts, and souls.

A very sweet tale. A Face in the Moon is more than a coming of age story. Instead, it is an emotionally deep story that takes the reader so deep inside a lonely, sad young man readers will hold their breath knowing that they cannot escape until the book is finished. The story line focuses on the new love between Jack and Loni by leaving the audience to wonder if their relationship can survive the external attacks from friends and society and the internal battles caused by major insecurities. With more novels like his debut tale that demonstrates Mitchell Waldman tremendous talent for genuine characters in real life settings, the author will not remain faceless for very long. -- Harriet Klausner, # 1 rated book reviewer for Amazon.com, at, among other places, BookReview.com
Excellent read! Very highly recommended . . . This is a cannot put it down until I have finished the last chapter tale from the opening line right down to the last chapter. Mitchell Waldman has crafted a delightful offering in his presentation novel. . . . A FACE IN THE MOON is a well written, entertaining work. . . . Writer Waldman shows great talent for developing characters who are people you feel you know, then placing them in life settings we can all understand and believe. The struggle his Jack and Loni must battle is well crafted in this intriguing tale. Waldman applies skill in his flowing narrative complete with a skillful portrayal of their psychological grapplings. -- Molly Martin, at WORDWEAVING.COM.
