JERUSALEM, June 17, 2025 — Award-winning writer Michael Weiss has lived in Israel all his life, immersed in an environment where unrest is common. And as the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates, Weiss remains resolute in his faith amid the growing destruction.
“Israel is fighting a war on behalf of the sane world, and this war isn’t against Iranians, but against a dark government that is concerned with the destruction of another nation instead of the prosperity of its own,” Weiss said. “Eventually light will defeat darkness. I can only hope it won’t cost many more lives before it happens.”
Weiss was a reporter for the Israeli media before launching his own news platform and eventually, his own publishing company.
“Born from a simple yet profound belief—that love transcends all boundaries—Timeless Love Publishing is on a mission to bring the world closer together, one story at a time,” said Weiss. “We curate and publish powerful, captivating novels that explore the many faces of love: love that blooms across distant cultures, love that endures through real-world challenges, and love that honors timeless traditions.”
Weiss’ first book, A Thousand Gates of Prayer, transports readers to the tranquil beauty of Hakone, Japan, where ancient shrines guard misty hillsides, and every path feels touched by spirit. A forbidden love quietly blooms between Miyuki, a young woman deeply rooted in her village’s traditions, and Masahiro, heir to a prestigious Kyoto family. As Miyuki and Masahiro’s connection deepens, they find themselves caught between loyalty and longing, tradition and change. When a powerful construction project threatens to erase Miyuki’s beloved village, their private romance becomes a public stand. With the help of an intrepid investigative journalist, they uncover a trail of corruption far more dangerous than either imagined, forcing them to risk everything—not just for each other, but for a way of life on the verge of vanishing.
His second book, Sunrise Over Numbi Gate, tells the gripping story of Emily, a young American woman whose dream trip to South Africa shatters when she’s kidnapped during a safari with her father and brother. Held captive deep within the wilds of Kruger National Park, Emily’s only hope comes from an unexpected source—Thabo, one of her captors, who risks everything to help her escape.
“At Timeless Love Publishing, every book is more than a love story—it’s a thread in a larger tapestry of human connection, woven with care, courage and compassion,” Weiss added. “We invite readers to explore this world with us—to help celebrate the beauty of love in all its extraordinary forms—and we welcome talented authors from around the globe who dream of bringing their love stories to life.”
