Helen Aherne

Helen Aherne was born in Ireland and is convinced this is where she gets her Celtic sense of humour and curiosity about people. In her teenage years she discovered love and romance between the pages of misappropriated romance novels which, while igniting questions (mainly about sex) in her curious, teenage mind, never seemed to provide an answer - she could never get past that bedroom door!

She dabbled in other genres, but always returned to her favourite - women's romantic fiction. She is fascinated by love in this modern world, by how easy it may be to reach people through social media, to find a partner but not always find real love.

Helen's work is mostly for and about women whose resilience never ceases to amaze. A good sense of humour and the ability to laugh at ourselves is what Helen feels keeps life from getting too serious.

She now lives happily in North Wales, surrounded by three gorgeous Border Collies and several hundred Welsh mountain sheep.
