It doesn't matter how many degrees one has to become a writer. Ones writing speaks for its self.
Keeping a journal of her poetry and short stories she has well over 300 poems and 169 short stories. Seven novels are in the making ranging from murder mysterys to romancing with inner devils. Of course all are laced with heated love stories and ice cold hatred towards one of the heroines victims. Currently she is working on her novel "The Chameleons." Here we will get a glimpse of what Cleveland, Ohio was like in the 1930's along with gangsters and coorption as well as mental and physical abuse that trail through three decades. Oh there is romance intwined and even some ghostly visits.
Helen states, "Writing is my being. I am always composing no matter where I am at or what I may be doing. There are other areas of my life inwhich stories will be told. I have also been working on three children's picture books, and a novel. My motto is...."No matter what you do in life there is a story to tell...and I have many."
