Helen Yendall's debut novel, 'A Wartime Secret' was published in January 2022 and was inspired by the true story of a bank that moved its staff to the countryside for the duration of WW2 (Upton House near Banbury, now owned by the National Trust). One reviewer described the novel as, 'Eastenders meets Downton Abbey'!
Helen then embarked on a series about the Women's Timber Corps (the lumberjills, as they were nicknamed), who worked in Britain's forests during and after WW2. The first in the series is 'The Highland Girls At War', the second, 'The Highland Girls on Guard' was published in March 2024 and she's currently working on the third, due for release in 2025.
Helen's a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association and is represented by Underline Literary Agency.
She has a degree from Leeds University in English and German and has worked in a variety of marketing and export roles and for a literary festival, all of which have provided inspiration for her fiction over the years.
But her favourite job (apart from writing, of course), is teaching writing. She's taught Creative Writing for adults since 2005, when a friend persuaded her to take on an evening class that was supposed to be full of 'beginners' (but wasn't).
She likes the way fiction can help make sense of the world and that, as a writer, she can give good people the happy ending they deserve.
When she's not writing, she likes playing tennis, swimming, reading and walking Bonnie the cocker spaniel in the beautiful Cotswold countryside.
