Janet S. Kleinman

Janet Kleinman's first published novel, FLIRTING WITH DISASTER, is a romantic thriller that races between South Florida and earthquake-ravaged Haiti with a bold new heroine readers won't soon forget.

The author is a transplanted New Yorker, a full time Florida resident and a committed writer of fiction. She is a wife, lover, mother and grandmother who graduated cum laude from Brooklyn College, City of New York and received a Master's degree from Manhattan College. She remains a social activist when motivated.

On September 22nd, 2013 Janet S. Kleinman was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Brooklyn College Alumni Association on the campus of the college in NYC. The nominating committee was influenced by my romantic thriller, FLIRTING WITH DISASTER. She is now promoting her book through podcasts as well as appearances. Her children are so proud.

Just before Christmas she appeared on a local South Florida TV station and on WPBR-RADIO. TV was a new experience for her. It was an outdoor studio in Lake Worth. She hopes to reach readers who are interested in the Haitian-American connection. Contact Janet after you've read FLIRTING WITH DISASTER WHEN LOVE AND NATURE COLLIDE.

Now FLIRTING WITH DISASTER WHEN LOVE AND NATURE COLLIDE is part of the permanent collection of Florida Writers for Palm Beach County and is available in almost all its branches.

Her newest novel is GOOD-BYE RUSSIA, HELLO AMERICA, an ode to immigration - the story of the Sidowitz family that comes to America in 1923, struggles, finds jobs and joy, and love. Mama Ida remains sad as one sibling was left behind in Russia. The depression ad WWII change everything as Jacob, now Jack, is inducted into the army, trained as an interpreter and parachuted into Europe. While working on the German/American treaty, he gets the chance to search for the missing brother amongst the recently released survivors from the former concentration camps. What a surprise ending!
