About the Author

Julie Helm is the author of several science fiction and fantasy stories.  She has belonged to writers groups and worked as an acquisitions editor for a national publishing company.   She is currently writing stories for children and juveniles because as she puts it, “There are places out there, rolling hills, deep gullies, and hidey-holes waiting to be discovered by those who aren’t afraid to stretch their imaginations and embark on exciting adventures that will enchant everyone!  And if a child can be impressed for good along the way…well, all the better.”
