Hello! I’m Helene Young and welcome to my author page on Goodreads.

Seven years ago, after a rewarding career as an airline captain and senior manager with the Qantas Airline Group in Australia, I swapped the sky for the sea to go in search of adventure with my husband aboard our sailing catamaran. While that should have given me more time to write it seems the lure of exploring was too strong. But there is good news! My next book is in the safe hands of my publisher and I look forward to sharing title and cover details soon.

And you can be sure that all the adventures we’re having in our floating home will lead to many more books! The rural and remote places we visit, along with the fascinating people we meet, provide boundless inspiration.

Serenity can still be found if you look around.

How does the world move forward from what feels like a descent into extreme tribalism with no room for anyone else’s opinion?

Social media was originally a way to connect people and, like many others, I’ve enjoyed connecting with like-minded people, readers, old school and work mates, distant family, and friends.

But I’m not sure it’s proving to be so social any more. I scroll through page after pag

Helene Young, Shattered Sky

“The insanity of love, and that’s why you’re trying to drive away with the park brake on.”
Helene Young, Shattered Sky

“I think I love you, Bennett. Probably not relevant at the moment so no need to say thanks.”
Helene Young, Shattered Sky

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”
Plato

“Nick looked to the sky again, searching for a last glimpse of the shiny jet. ‘For us, maybe, but courtesy of Nina and her reckless ambition Ellie Wilding will remember this day for the rest of her life.”
Helene Young

“Thanks, Ms Wilding.’

She raised one eyebrow. ‘Who?’

‘You must be Tom’s daughter, the photographer. You look like him. A prettier version, sexy, even.’ His laugh was a smoky rumble as he spun on his heel.

‘Don’t presume to know anything about me, Mr Lawson.’

He hefted his pack and strode away, power in the length of stride.”
Helene Young, Half Moon Bay
