Helen Johnston - Queen Of smut

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Helen grew up in the county of Hampshire, in southern England. She was incredibly fortunate to have the most wonderful parents anyone could wish for. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a dancer—nothing more, nothing less. As an only child, she immersed herself in dance lessons, which instilled in her a sense of discipline and, perhaps more importantly, the tenacity to finish what she starts.

Helen has a son who is her pride and joy—and in her eyes, he’s pretty much perfect (though she insists you mustn’t tell him that!). She lives with her partner and their thoroughly spoiled cat, who is quite convinced he rules the household. The cat, that is—not her partner.

Often told she possessed a fanciful imagination, Helen now counts that as one of her greatest blessings. After years of working a variety of jobs to make ends meet, she discovered writing—born from a lifelong love of reading, a desire to escape the daily grind, and the need to give life to the stories swirling in her mind.

With a passion for all things paranormal and erotic, Helen found the perfect way to blend the two in her storytelling.

She hopes readers enjoy her Innocence and Eternal series as much as she has enjoyed writing them.

Helen loves hearing from readers. She doesn’t bite… well, only if you ask nicely.

Together they sail the coast, follow dangerous clues, and risk everything to expose the identity of the person responsible for the tragedies that haunt the estate. But as their investigation deepens, so does the danger.

Will they uncover the treasure before someone else escapes with it?

About the author

Judith lives in Florida with her husband and canine administrator, Toby. In between golf and MahJongg, she writes. She called Colorado home for most of her adult life.

When she bought two horses for her children to ride, she didn’t realize it would grow to a herd of registered Paint horses, lessons for herself, and training for her horses, not to mention lots of travel to shows.

Driving to Wyoming to visit family and enjoying the wide-open land was the creative inspiration for the fictional farm community called Bantry and the mountain formation Hightower Mountain in SECRETS OF THE HEART.

The second book in this series, RETURN TO HIGHTOWER, is in progress and focuses on Adam’s younger brother Steve Tower and his lost love, Desiree Lorde. Both novels are stand-alone reads. She hopes to have it out by summer.
