About Helen J. Darling

Helen J. Darling writes mysteries and comic women’s fiction. Her most recent novel, Death in the Dunes, is the first in her Spartina Beach Mysteries series. Her Jane Desmond series (I’ll Know Me When I Find Me and Terms and Conditions) follows the misadventures of a thirtysomething single woman trying to get her life together. She has also authored a comic novella, However This Is To Inform You, available to subscribers to her mailing list.

She lives in North Carolina with her husband, two children, a codependent beagle, and a cat who owns them all. Helen worked in publishing for twenty years before acknowledging she’d like to write something herself. When she’s not writing or spending time with her family, she dabbles uncontrollably in hobbies from photography and painting to gardening, carpentry, and home renovations. She reads three or four books at a time. She also keeps bees. That’s why she takes so long to write her novels.
