Helen grew up with three siblings in Nuneaton, in Warwickshire in the UK. She was a bookworm from an early age, her favourite author being Enid Blyton, which means she was regularly lost in worlds that involved the Famous Five, Secret Seven, glamorous boarding schools and the drinking of ginger beer. Immersing herself in worlds that other authors had created seemed to naturally lead her into creating her own.

Helen now lives in a town in Leicestershire, and loves walking in the local countryside. With history on her doorstep (the battle of Bosworth took place just down the road) it would be rude not to have an interest in history and Helen loves learning new things about the past. She has a love for health and wellbeing, and has done some studying in that area. She is currently working on the sequel to 'Nature of the Witch.'
