Born and living in Australia, Helen resides in the North-West of Tasmania. After over 33 years in the Australian Army, she is now retired, and happily spends her days as house spouse to her wife, Kate. When she isn't engaged in her favourite hobby of cooking, she spends her time traveling, reading, writing and finally paying sufficient focus on completing her family history. Helen has always had a love of writing and poetry, completing her first body of work—a piece of poetry, at fifteen.
