THE WRITER: The blank page calls, /the heart responds, /imagination spreads wide its wings /and launches into infinity.../Fingers dance, /words flow, /the page fills, /the soul takes flight /and the spirit sings. Copyright © Helena Harper 2008

Want to delve into the crazy world of teaching? Or looking for a gift for a teacher?
Then my book It's a Teacher's Life...! could be just the thing (not quite St. Trinian's, but it will make you laugh!) - and there are plenty of other gift ideas you can explore on the 'Teacher Appreciation' page.

Want to write your own memoir?
If my wartime saga and family history Family and More whets your appetite to start writing your own, but you don't know where to start, then check out the 'How to write a memoir' page.

MY BOOKS

What do you do when you feel you've lost your 'shine'? Sammy, the sun, has quite literally lost his shine and 3 spaceships - Jimmy, Jenny and Johnny - think they've got the answer, but have they? Enjoy the action and the arguments in Pep, Polish and Paint! J.D.Holiday, author and illustrator: "A charming fantasy all children will love. Malachy McKinney's illustrations are engaging and imaginative."

(See book trailer here )

It's a Teacher's Life...! - not quite St. Trinian's, but it will make you smile and laugh (and don't we all need some of that?) and, if you're not a teacher, it'll give you an insight into that crazy world. It's based on my own teaching experiences in a girls' private school and is an amusing, ironic look at the ups and downs of the profession - a collection of stories and character sketches, written in free verse. Amazon Top Reviewers: "Highly entertaining/ wonderful poems written from the heart/ a wonderful gift and read for anyone wishing to understand not only teachers, but all people who dedicate their lives to service."

Family & More - Enemies or Friends? - if you've ever thought, 'Which side would I choose, if I had divided loyalties? Could I choose?' or 'Why is this happening to me?' or 'Why did this happen to my mother/father?' etc. then this book is for you. A wartime saga and family history, examining the lives of family members and others, who've taught me some valuable lessons, and heavily influenced by my German/English background.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson, multi-award winning writer of fiction and poet: "The author encapsulates characters and events breathtakingly. There is so much here to think about once one turns the last page. I was left wanting more! More!..."
