Autorenporträt

Helen is a mother of two grown-up daughters living in the North Yorkshire. History and research has always been something she has loved, and she has three master's degrees in History, which she did later in life. She has always wanted to write, but due to being diagnosed as dyslexic later in life, she always thought it was something she couldn't do. But she is proving herself wrong. Along with reading, Helen loves visiting many different places in the United Kingdom, especially if they have canals or waterfalls. The inspiration for Greengrove is her love of canals as she finds them very tranquil places that have the ability to calm her, so where better to set a book?
