Helen J. Christmas
My name is Helen Christmas and live with my husband Peter on the south coast of England. Writing is something I am not only passionate about, but feel has always been in my blood. I have dreamed of being an author - yet never felt I could take that next step, until I was confident I had created something worthy of being published.
It seems a long time ago I published my debut novel 'Beginnings' which is the first book in the series 'SAME FACE DIFFERENT PLACE'. I have been greatly encouraged by the response I've had from its first readers. Descriptions such as 'A complete page turner' - 'A great read' have boosted my confidence no end and it pleases me to know my stories have such potential to entertain.

Beginnings (Same Face Different Place)
'Beginnings' is my debut novel: a fast paced thriller, set against a backdrop of organised crime in the East End of London. It is the story of 16 year old Eleanor Chapman whose Father, Oliver, is forced into hiding, leaving her in the hands of dangerous people. During a short spell in captivity, she stumbles across another prisoner - a mysterious musician from Holland, named Jake - the one witness of a scene leading to a devastating car bomb which claimed the life of a British MP - and now those responsible want him silenced.
Desperate to escape, they find a safe place to hide - but as two young people thrown together by fate, they fall in love - their only wish to survive and to flee from the people who have placed their lives in danger.
With several of 4/5 star reviews, 'Beginnings' is available on Amazon Kindle with now also available on Amazon in paperback.

Visions (Same Face Different Place)
I have now finished my second book, 'Visions' which is the next instalment of the series, Same Face Different Place.
Set in the 1980s, 'Visions' is a dark, psychological thriller based around the restoration of an old country house. Eleanor is determined to protect her friends, the aristocratic Barton-Wells family from a ruthless and predatory property developer. Yet from within the rural retreat of Aldwyck village, her enemies are lurking - and a new era of evil is about to be unleashed. It is not until she comes face to face with a deadly adversary from her troubled past, that she finally understands the danger this might hold, for those she loves, especially her 12 year old son, Elijah.
