Helen Halstead
  After a varied career mostly in teaching, Helen Halstead self-published A Private Performance: A Sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, in 2004. Sales were strong, and the book was republished by Random House Australia in September 2005.

A long fascination with disappearances inspired Helen's second novel, The Imaginary Gentleman: A Regency Intrigue, which was published by Random House in 2006.

Helen's current project - a story of family secrets - is an historical novel set in South Australia in 1918. She lives in Adelaide, South Australia, with her two sons, and now writes full-time.
