Helen’s historical fiction novels are set during pivotal times in history. Readers are taken back to the activism and debates of the early reproductive rights, suffrage, and abolitionist movements of the 19th and 20th century.
She is especially inspired by people who had the courage to challenge the beliefs they were raised to accept, thus breaking the cycle of racism, sexism, and injustice.

Helen is the creator of The Foremothers Café, a virtual community space in the Metaverse. Set in Lund, Sweden in 1918, it is a replica of Hanna’s café in Helen's novel, Sour Milk in Sheep’s Wool. She is one of the only authors, possibly the only author, with a VR World modeled after a setting in their novels. Just like in her novel, women today meet at The Foremothers Café for community, discourse, and support.
Remember, we’re standing on the shoulders of our Foremothers!

Helen is a member of The Historical Novel Society and of XR Women.
