Award winning author Helen Ginger was born in Georgia, but at age ten, her mother moved the family to Texas. Helen's been there ever since, laying down roots and picking up stories. As far back as Helen can remember, she's always written: angst-filled stories in high school; short stories and poetry in college; mysteries, mainstream fiction, even technical books, three of which have been published by TSTC Publishing. She's also an Owner/Partner and WebMistress for Legends In Our Own Minds®. Helen lives in a small town just outside of Austin, Texas. From her office window, she sees birds, deer, squirrels, road runners, foxes, cats, and rabbits. Helen's book, ANGEL SOMETIMES, won the 2013 USA Best Book Award for Fiction: New Age. Her next book, a Matti McAllister, PI, mystery, DISMEMBERING THE PAST, is due out in Summer 2014.'Course, what she gets asked about most often are her four years as a mermaid at Aquarena Springs. Swimming with a shimmery tail, picnicking underwater, performing synchronized ballet, blowing air bubbles ... all year round, even in the winter.
