ⓘ About Helen Golden

Helen Golden is an author of British cozy mystery fiction works that usually come with a hint of humor. She makes her home in a small Lincolnshire village in the United Kingdom where she lives with her husband, her daughter, their two dogs, two cats, their tortoise, and sometimes her stepson. Before she became a novelist, Golden worked as a senior manager, but when her most recent job came to a natural end, she thought it would be best to follow her dreams of becoming a novelist. She published her debut work in 2022 but has proven to be quite the prolific author. The prolific nature of her publishing is quite impressive given that she runs a crazy busy house and has to head to the family caravan to write whenever she has the time.
