I’m guest blogging with fellow Hachette author, Phillipa Fioretti, tonight and tomorrow. She’s put me under the microscope with some very curly questions! Find us at: http://www.phillipafioretti.com.au/ And keep an eye out for Fragment of Dreams, Phillipa’s latest novel, out soon with Hachette Australia!
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.
Partying with Black Cat Style
Black Cat Books and Cafe in Paddo certainly know how to party! Steph and her team did a fantastic job last night keeping the champagne flowing as we celebrated the release of Shattered Sky. Thanks also to Hachette Australia’s wonderful area manager, Adele, who made sure the evening ran smoothly and calmed my nerves. And Continue reading
iBooks- Wings of Fear
Wings of Fear is now available at the iTunes store! I’m a little excited and a touch nervous. I just need an iPad now so I can download it myself:-)
Penn it right
My brother recommended I should check out the Creative Penn website. When I did I was amazed. Joanna Penn, author, blogger, speaker and business consultant, happily shares her knowledge free of charge.

Honorary Doctorate?

Her article deals with a subject close to any writer’s Continue reading
Order out of chaos
With two new bookcases, measuring 4×4, the house has re-emerged from under my books… That’s means I can buy some more 🙂
Our ABC – the calm in the storm
Their job starts when the rain’s forcing its way through the cracks, the house is shuddering under slamming gusts of wind and it’s impossible to see your hand in front of your face. They are the familiar voices on the portable radio giving comfort and reassurance through the black of the night. As dawn breaks Continue reading
Tamworth Library Visit
Yesterday we hopped on a Dash 8 and flew from Sydney to Tamworth. (It was a little strange being a passenger rather than sitting up the pointy end…) Feeling very spoilt after our lovely evening in Camden, we were ready to spend the day mellowing out in Tamworth and that’s exactly what we did. We strolled Continue reading
Camden Library Lovers Day
Receiving emails from readers who’ve enjoyed Wings of Fear (Border Watch) has been one of the unexpected joys of my publishing journey. Last night I found another one – library visits! Graham and I flew down to Sydney then drove out to Camden for a library talk. It was a lovely intimate gathering with people Continue reading
