Features on the Blog

In addition to the monthly short story contests, reading lists, and book reviews I’m incorporating more of my own writing, including:

  • Short Stories: This month’s short story feature is: What Motivates You. This is a humorous story based on the writing prompt: Apparently spite is not the correct answer to what motivates you.
  • Articles: this month, in celebration of Pride Month, I compiled a list of books by celebrating LGBTQIA+ voices of the Jewish tribe.
  • Updates on my progress on my work in progress – I’m seeking representation for my current work in progress.

[June Featured Short Story] What Motivates You by Heidi Slowinski

Monthly Short Story Feature One of my writing goals for 2022 is to create more short stories. They’re a good creative exercise and sometimes lead to bigger ideas for novels. Or who knows, maybe an eventual collection of short stories in the form of a new book. For now, I’ve added them all to my…

Books with LGBTQIA+ Jewish Voices

Wishing all who celebrate a very Happy Pride Month! This month, I’ve compiled a list of 18 books celebrating the LGBTQIA+ members of the Jewish community. Our tribe is a diverse one and every member deserves representation. Of all the articles, I’ve written like this, the LGBTQIA+ has the largest number of books. I encourage…

The House on Maple Street is now available in hardcover!

That’s right! My debut novel is now available in hardcover. Pick up your copy on Amazon today. It’s also available in paperback and e-book. Kindle Unlimited readers can read for free.

Take a minute to add it to your Goodreads reading list. And when you’ve finished enjoying it, please add a review.

Abandoned by her mother in early childhood, Noa was raised by her distant, apathetic grandmother. But a trip to the library in search of her new love, spy thrillers, leads Noa to a life long friendship with a librarian. Fast forward and Noa has established a successful travel blog and her librarian friend has become more like family.

A note in the pocket of a vintage jacket turns a working trip to Vancouver into a mission for a spy international network. The mission is simple. Take a package to a hotel restroom and leave. When things take an unexpected turn, Noa suddenly finds herself in a high stakes game of cat and mouse. Noa quickly finds all the novels in the world are no preparation for the game she’s playing. Will she complete her mission?

Although social and moral guidelines have slipped and changed (like the style of dress or undress) since Jane Austen wrote her books, the stories are still relevant to today’s readers. Those readers promote, defend, discuss, and have thoughts and opinions about JA and everything they can learn about her, as you will read within. Why are we still reading and discussing Jane Austen’s s, novels, letters, and quotes 200 years after she has passed away? Read on and you will learn.
