She lives in a storybook village on the idyllic Central Coast of New South Wales - think dogs, chooks, kookaburras, a boat, an inland waterway in front, a national park and the ocean behind. Before moving there Helen's long writing career included being Rupert Murdoch's first female sports reporter. Since moving from Sydney she has written a memoir, a trilogy of young adult books set in the 1950s, and has edited two major collections of short stories written by members of her twice-yearly Life Writing courses. Her most recent books, The Body in the Bridge, and The Roughest Day, are available as both print and ebooks.view less
