Helena, a self-confessed romantic and an ardent fan of Jane Austen's works, spent many years on her parent's quaint farm in the beautiful Natal Midlands of South Africa. The sheep, horses, fruit farms, green rolling hills, a close-by spiritual seminary, and rustling maize fields of the countryside clearly shaped her ideas from a young age.
With her heart linked to the English side of her ancestry, all three of her historical novels Wind in the Wheat Fields, The Lady and the Piano and The Solitary Man are set in England. The countryside so resembles the green Natal Midlands of her homeland, where she still resides.
Helena and her delightfully eccentric husband run a charming flower shop together, 'Flowers From Howick'.
They have two wonderful children who have flown the coop.
