: About Me

 I'm Katerina Nikolas and live in mainland Greece. I have been writing on Helium since January 2010. I have a BA honours in English  literature and amongst other things worked in finance for twelve years which means I am able to give sound advice in my finance articles. I am also the manager of the credit and debt channel in personal finance.

I enjoy exposing the the myriad of diets which are part of a multi million dollar business which has its hook into those wanting to lose weight, and hope that readers can appreciate the truth rather than the hype.

The creative writing I do is based on local goings on in small time rural Greece. Indeed I live in a time warp, and long may it remain so.

My interests include the Holocaust, history, biographical writings from previously inacessible countries and serial killers. I am an avid reader.

I am collating a list of my articles which have been reprinted in full without my permission by other publications: my work is in the following publications.

Arts & Humanities > European History The Greek Civil War: The Massacre of Meligala

1 of 1

The Greek Civil war is a period which many will not speak of in the Greek Peloponnese, as atrocious acts were carried out between fellow countrymen. Whilst Greeks fought bravely against the Italians in the Second World War, defeating them, only in turn to fall to the mighty power of the advancing Germans, a second conflict was unfolding. Communist and nationalists fought fiercely to take control of the country, and as the Germans began to leave Greece in September 1944, Aris Velouchiotis, chief of the People’s Army for National Liberation (ELAS) sent communist troops to conquer the P...
