Helen Pryke

Helen Pryke is a chocolate-addicted British author who has been living in the north of Italy for almost thirty years. She is now happily married to her second husband, who is a wonderful cook, and enjoying life with her two sons and a rescue cat, Pan.

Fluent in Italian, she worked as a translator and taught English to Italian students for many years, before deciding to follow her dream and become an author.

Helen has always loved reading, and started writing at an early age – her first article was published in a school magazine when she was ten. She got her passion for reading from her mum, who encouraged her to write, but sadly never got to see Helen’s dream come true.

Helen has written two suspense novels, set in the Portsmouth area she grew up in many years ago. She enjoys creating dark characters who send chills down your spine, which worries her husband somewhat.

Helen is delighted to be working with Bloodhound Books, and can’t wait to introduce readers to more of her dark side.
