Alysia Helming started writing her own short stories and plays for school in the third grade, and throughout her life has never forgotten her passion for writing. In 2000, Alysia coauthored a pilot for a TV series, “One Degree of Separation” and in 2006, she coordinated the local premiere of the feature-length movie "The Great Warming" starring Alanis Morissette and Keanu Reeves, assisting with the nationwide release of the film. As a former student in Screenwriting at University of California, Los Angeles, Alysia wrote a full-length feature film screenplay, “The Green Warrior”, in 2009-2010. Currently, Alysia is a Producer for a Hollywood TV series under development called "Meet Me in Greece" with Executive Producers Trifecta Entertainment. “Protogenesis” is Alysia’s first novel, which is the first in a seven-novel series. She is enjoying her writing journey, traveling regularly between her home in the Oakland Hills nestled above the San Francisco Bay, and Athens, Greece, the primary setting for her novel series. From 2015-18, she visited Athens, Greece 18+ times. Each trip, she met over 500 friends and collaborators in Greece that helped her to thoroughly understand the rich culture, mythology and unique challenges that the Greek people face through the current crisis there, including Greek music star, Kostas Martakis, who created the theme song "Forever and Tonight" for her book, "Protogenesis". Now, her mission is to help Greece by offering a message of hope and to drive tourism there through her book series. Her ‘journey behind the writing’ is just as interesting as the novel series! It is documented through a series of blogs and a series of short films with Kostas Martakis on her website: www.footstepsinathens.com. When she isn’t writing, Alysia is considered a ‘Clean Energy Guru’. She’s the Executive Vice President of Green Reach, Inc., a diversified renewable energy company and is a Board Director and a majority investor/owner in Pristine Sun, a major solar independent power producer in the United States. Alysia enjoys spending time with her young son and husband, as well as activities such as hiking, mountain climbing, ballet and travel. Find out more about the book at www.protogenesis.com.
