My name is Helen P. Spetkoff and I am a writer with an academic background in Philosophy and Psychology.
My work explores society, morality, families, and human nature. I strive to blend a literary style with explosive, scandalous plots.
I think the hardest feat of all is to write seriously without sacrificing pleasure.
I am currently writing my first novel.
Portrait from Umbria, 2023
H.P. Spetkoff
After the decline of her scandalous Balkan family, a misfit Eastern-European heiress moves to New York to track down a long-lost family inheritance. Chronically incapable, arrogant, and bored, she discovers the harsh comical realities of the working class, and soon finds herself entangled with a histrionic Wall Street mogul.
Torn between her new humble status and the world of Manhattan's ultra-rich, she must play a brutal game of survival, deceit, and self-discovery that will end in her entire family's salvation or doom.
DEAR READER,
In the fall of 2024, I aim to submit my manuscript to the top five American publishing houses and land a book deal with them. Your help would be tremendously appreciated, as they prefer debut authors with an extensive email list.
On this blog, I will publish the first five chapters – one chapter per week. If you truly enjoy the story, please subscribe to the email list below.
The only notifications you will receive are for the next chapters and before publication.
Thank you!
