Author: Helene
I live by a beach just north of Cairns – my own tiny slice of paradise in North Queensland. When I'm not writing, you'll find me flying Dash 8 aircraft for QantasLink around regional Australia.
I write romantic suspense with feisty, confident heroines who (not surprisingly) work in the aviation industry. My stories are set in the top end of Australia – a wild and wonderful, larger-than-life environment just begging to be showcased in anticipation-filled novels.
Burning Brightly
I came home from a day in the office to find Zeus standing guard over a box of books (they were outside the front door and he was inside…) My author copies of Burning Lies have arrived! Now I just have to wait for another month before they hit the shelves 🙂

R*BY 2012
Today was supposed to be a no blog day. In fact it was supposed to be a limited internet day as I’m hurtling towards a deadline with the story still taking shape. I’m on reserve for flying hoping the phone doesn’t ring but I just have to share my good news! Shattered Sky has made Continue reading
