Hi, I’m Helen and I love to write books! I like to see my books on shelves in classrooms and libraries.  Why? Because I write books to help children learn to read and discover how fantastic books are!

Some of my books are mysteries or adventure stories. Others are weird and funny! I also really, really like writing NON BORING non-fiction books! I have written books about wild and weird pets, cool science experiments, hobbies and war.

I went to Blackburn Primary School and Blackburn High School,Victoria where I was good at:

  1. Reading a book in class without being caught by the teacher.
  2. Daydreaming on the sports oval during games instead of fielding.

My favourite hobbies were horse riding, exploring my neighbourhood with my Shetland Sheepdog, bike riding, playing footy and backyard cricket with my dad and brother. And reading – always reading!
