Helen is the only novelist in the world who has a setting from one of their books in the Metaverse. The Foremothers Café is a Virtual Reality world inspired by Hanna’s café from her novel, Sour Milk in Sheep’s Wool.

New Release

I'm excited to announce that my new novel, The Lure of Water and Wood has been released.
This is my first foray into the Fantasy Genre and I'm very excited to share it with the world.
To celebrate, my epic novel is only 9.99 on kindle throughout the holidays.
And it's of course available in paperback as well.
