JD Slajchert

Picture
JD Slajchert is an American novelist born and raised in Southern California. He wrote his debut novel, MoonFlower, during his final two years as a student-athlete at the University of California, Santa Barbara. When tragedy struck and he lost his biggest fan Luc Bodden to Sickle Cell Disease, he knew he needed to preserve Luc's spirit and honor his memory by writing his first book.

Following his many trips to Mammoth Lakes, California, he became moved to write his first purely fiction work, Joining the Choir Invisible. A bittersweet slice of life that leaves you at the edge.   

He credits much of his inspiration to many of the authors from the lauded Lost Generation, and has aspirations of one day living in Paris himself. He is currently working on his second novel.

Joining the Choir Invisible


Near the bottom of the bottle, two strangers caught behind the wind of a snowstorm in Smithers, British Columbia quarrel over living with the dead. In his first experiment with the art of short story, JD Slajchert drops a potent mixture of cutting dialogue and bone chilling cold. A bittersweet slice of life that leaves you at the edge.

                                                                                              ~


Much of the inspiration comes from reading many of the shorter works of Salinger, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Joyce and many others. The characters themselves, are born out of ideas and themes, not necessarily people. The 
conversation is one that is meant to speak towards much more than a story, but society at large.

This is JD Slajchert's first project with Summer House Publishing.
