H A Howe is a writer and lyricist. The Short Of It is her fourth collection of short stories and was published in November 2024 as an ebook, and is now available on Amazon as well as all other major ebook platforms, and will be published in its printed version in early 2025.
This latest collection of 21 short stories explores the depths of human emotion through love, happiness, tragedy, and the poignant moments that define our lives, and lacks none of H A Howe’s unique style that always manages to captivate, and often surprises the reader with unexpected twists. Each story offers a window into the lives of unique individuals, each on a quest to fulfil their deepest desires. From a son’s desperate search for his mother’s approval in Out Of The Shadows, to the haunting consequences of a friendship in Adult Education, and the dystopian tension of a seemingly perfect State in A Good System, these stories pull you into a world where love can be both a saving grace and a destructive force, as seen on For Love’s Sake. This collection of telling narratives will resonate with anyone who has ever wrestled with life’s complexities and contradictions.
H A Howe has also written various plays, and one of her earlier ones, an historical play, was translated into French and German and the performance rights have been licensed for production in three countries, and it is being developed as a feature film.

Every Picture Inspires A Story was published in January 2018
A collection of twenty-one fictional stories , all of which have been inspired by (but are not based on) a particular painting. From David Hockney’s Pool And Steps to Van Gogh’s Two Peasant Women Digging Potatoes, the stories are as diverse as the artists’ brush strokes. Most of the tales have been set within the time frame of when the individual painting was created.
Whilst the featured paintings are fundamental as they have triggered the author’s imagination, they are by no means necessary for the reader’s understanding or enjoyment of these varied and colourful tales depicting contemporaneous adventures ranging from the 16th to the 21st century.
This is H A Howe’s third collection of short stories and lacks none of her unique style that always manages to captivate, and often surprises the reader with unexpected twists.
