: About Me

As a Senior Channel Manager on the Helium site, I am here to help members in the development of their Helium experience, and am very approachable by any members experiencing difficulty on the site. As Channel Manager of the Music Education channel, I am always seeking writers with knowledge in this area, and am happy to seed titles for those needing new titles. Never hesitate to ask. If I can possibly help you enjoy your experience more, then my job is worthwhile. I am also joint Channel Manager of the Health Channel and Channel Manager of Relationships. This area is an area which is undergoing great development work with my team of Channel Managers, turning the area into magazine style reading for Helium readers.

On a more community based level, my position as Community Editorial Manager/Mentor means that I work behind the scenes to make user experience better, with a team of editors who are devoted to assisting members with the presentation of their work. The mentoring work which I do helps members to develop their work, and I can be contacted on mentor@helium.com for assistance.

I also act as New Member Guide, and understand the frustrations encountered by New Members and am willing to help them to understand all the concepts of being a member at Helium :

*Developing their writing skills.
*Finding their way around the site.
*Understanding the payment structure.
*Understanding how to make the most of Helium.
*Addressing issues
*Explaining technical procedures that members find difficult.

Do get in touch. Every single member of Helium has an opinion and learning to express that opinion in Helium style leads to successful membership and enjoyment of the site.

Got new things you want to write about ?

Think you can do better as a writer but don't know how ?

Just ask, as anything we do to help Helium also makes the site a better place for writers to be, and help and support for others in their writing career is really what Helium stands for.

Acting as New Member Guide, if you ever feel lost or need answers to questions, just press CONTACT THIS WRITER and I shall always be happy to help writers to develop and enjoy their stay on Helium.

Having been involved in writing since childhood, it is part of my passion and enjoyment. Writing gives you a chance to express who you are and what you stand for, and I certainly have a lot of articles, though take joy from reading other articles to keep my mind honed and my mind open to learning, which is what I see the Helium experience as being all about.

Author of two novels, hundreds of short stories and poetry, my writing is important using everyday life as inspiration that paints a picture on the page. Writing for Women's Magazines in the UK and in France, I have been published in Chat, Loving, Lady, Women's Own, Women's Weekly, Maxi, and many other publications.

3 of 7

The crime was not an obvious one, though as the drama unfolded, Inspector Willis worried. The moral dilemma which faced him was whether he should report something he knew even if it affected his own lifestyle. “Whatever were you thinking of?” he questioned his daughter. “How can you put me in this situation?” His consternation at finding out that his daughter had been involved in a crime had really put a spanner in the works. Not only did he stand to lose all respect within the Police force, but it was likely that his wife would leave him if she found out. She stood...
