Helen grew up in a house of many animals: rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, a chinchilla at one point, and lots and lots of cats.
When she's not writing, she works for her local library, and when she's not doing that she is knitting, playing video games or trying to grow courgettes. When she’s older she hopes to be a mermaid or a witch.
Helen completed the Bath Spa MA in Writing for Young People with Distinction and won the United Agents Prize for Emmy Levels Up. She lives in Bristol with her husband and two feline writing assistants.
