Welcome to my website, home to all the news about and insights into my debut novel, "The Silversmith's Secret" which will be published in March 2025 by Koehler Books. Writing a novel has been a long-deferred dream of mine, and I'm very excited it is now coming to fruition.
Stephen Seche capped a 35-year diplomatic career by serving as U.S. Ambassador to Yemen from 2007 - 10. In addition to the Middle East, his overseas postings included assignments in Latin America, Canada and India. Before joining the foreign service, he worked as a journalist in western Massachusetts.
"I am Moishe Azani, a silversmith, a Jew, a Yemeni." So begins "The Silversmith's Secret," the debut novel of former U.S. Ambassador to Yemen Stephen Seche. Part historical novel, part adventure story, "The Silversmith's Secret" illuminates the rich past and troubled present of Yemen as it tells the story of individuals compelled to travel thousands of miles from their homes in search of a new beginning.
