- Breve biografia
- I live in the U.K. and come from a German/English background. I studied languages and International Relations at university and after a brief, unproductive spell in a bank (never again!), I decided to train as a teacher and did a PGCE at Exeter University in Devon. I've taught as a modern language teacher for 20 years, but have always enjoyed writing - primarily short, fantasy stories for children, but in the past few years I've also discovered the joys of writing poetry for adults - and my first two books are collections of poetry, which have been drawn from my professional and personal life. The first book is called "IT'S A TEACHER'S LIFE...!" and is available from Amazon. It's an amusing collection of twenty anecdotes and character sketches, written in free verse, based on my experiences as a teacher. There are plenty of reviews on Amazon. My second book "FAMILY AND MORE - ENEMIES OR FRIENDS?", which is greatly influenced by my German/English background, is an anthology of 16 poems, also written in free verse, based on people in my life who have had a big influence on me. It is a collection of life stories and lessons. It is an ebook and is available from my publishers (www.eloquentbooks.com/Familyandmore.html). I have completed two children's picture book manuscripts and illustrations for the first book are now being done.

Jenny the spaceship came by next and she said Sammy needed polish and she would bring some back to him. Then Jenny flew off too. Lastly, Johnny the spaceship came along and said Sammy needed new paint and he would bring some along the next time he came by.
Sammy wasn’t sure any of these things would help get back his shine. It all sounds so
confusing to him. Sammy waited and waited a long time for them all to return. He began to think they forgot all about him.
But all three did returned and they did help Sammy, but in an very unexpected way!
Pep, Polish and Paint is a delightfully clever story with an important message for children on how some things come from within us! Helena Harper uses her skill as a teacher to develop this charming fantasy all children will love. Malachy McKinney’s illustrations are engaging and imaginative.
