About the author

I have been a writer all my life, at least since I could put pencil to paper. Writing - story-telling - has always been as natural to me as breathing, an essential part of who I am.

Sometimes using the pen names 'Caroline Martin' and ‘Mary Corrigan’, but mostly my own name, I’ve been a published writer since 1980 and a self-published writer since 2012.

For some years I wrote a column for the Northern Echo. I have also given talks to local groups on my writing (and once, at the Bowes Museum, on my early Laura Ashley dress!).

My occasional blog and details of all my books can be found on my website at www.helencannam.com. I also venture onto Twitter from time to time @HelenCannam.

And, yes, I am still writing...
