Helen is a historical novelist and a trailblazer in XR, and in the literary world, being the first novelist in the world to have created a Virtual Reality space inspired by one of the settings in her own novel. Her VR space, The Foremothers Café, not only pays homage to her novel Sour Milk in Sheep’s Wool and the café within its storyline but also serves as a thriving cultural center in VR.

Helen’s historical fiction novels are set during pivotal times in history. Readers are taken back to the activism and debates of the early reproductive rights, suffrage, and abolitionist movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as to the harsh reality of the Sorcery Trials in Sweden during the 17th and 18th centuries. Grounded in scholarly research, Helen’s novels portray history in vivid detail, with unforgettable characters and relationships that stay with readers long after the last page is turned.
