Hi, here is a picture of me. You won’t find many, as I’m not very photogenic. However, luckily for me, my dog likes to be centre of attention, as do my cats!

As a child I always wanted to draw animals, but back then it wasn’t encouraged. As an adult and mother of two boys, my busy life meant that often, wildlife just passed me by unnoticed, until one day, I was inspired by a bee.

I now write animal stories, to raise awareness for endangered animals and wildlife in need. It’s a very rewarding job, especially when I get to see the smiles on children’s faces, and hear how they’ve helped animals, through my stories.

I’ve got lots of animals to write about, so I hope you will subscribe so I can let you know when I am about to publish a NEW BOOK!

Meanwhile, thank you for visiting my website.

Warm Wishes, Helene
