February 23, 2014 by Helena Halme 2 Comments

Last time I wrote about ice-hockey was in 2011, and here I am writing two posts back to back in 2014!But as you must know by now, ice-hockey is more than sport to me. It reminds me of my childhood, … [Read more...]

Are you enjoying the Sochi games?

February 21, 2014 by Helena Halme Leave a Comment

I know there's been a lot of controversy over these Winter Olympics in Russia, and I understand how many people feel they want to boycott the games.

Andy Murray and my citizenship status

July 8, 2013 by Helena Halme 7 Comments

A spurious connection? Let me explain.I've mentioned on this blog a few times now that although I've lived in the UK for the best part of my adult life, I've never felt the need to apply for British citizenship. Also, when the children were young, the crazy pre-EU Finnish laws stated that my … [Read more...]

I clicked on Tania Kindersley' blog and there, as usual, she summed it all up perfectly. (If you don't follow her blog, you really must. She writes a … [Read more...]

London a friendlier city during the Olympics?

August 2, 2012 by Helena Halme 2 Comments

Picture: Time Out Before the 2012 Games, the greatest worry for the organisers and ordinary Londoners was transport. How would the already overcrowded public transport system cope with the extra 260,000 people estimated to come to London during the Olympics? Even I had my doubts before the … [Read more...]

Olympic fever reaches London – at last!

July 27, 2012 by Helena Halme 2 Comments

I just love this picture of David Beckham holding the flame as it arrived in Cornwall in May. Photo: GuardianOver past twelve or so months I've sometimes despaired at the attitude this city, that I now call my home, has had towards the Olympics. Especially my former employer, our national … [Read more...]

Whoo hoo! My new book, an enemies-to-lovers winter Whoo hoo! My new book, an enemies-to-lovers winter romance, To Melt A Frozen Heart, is now on pre-order!
💙
To Melt A Frozen Heart is Book 1 in a new series, titled, The Anderssons.  In the first novel in the series, we meet  Kat Andersson, a passionate environmentalist TV producer. Heartbroken after a devastating betrayal by those whom she most trusted in her life, she travels to Lapland, where she meets – and immediately hates – Mikael Hult, a ski instructor from a wealthy Finnish mining family.
💙
Here’s the full blurb:
When trust is betrayed by those closest to you, can love still find its way?

Kat, a TV producer nursing a shattered heart from a celebrity chef's betrayal, seeks refuge in Lapland. There, she crosses paths with Mikael, a Finnish ski instructor from a wealthy mining dynasty.

Their worlds collide like ice and fire, yet an irresistible attraction blooms. Kat, an ardent vegan and environmental advocate, has sworn off holiday romances. Mikael embodies everything she detests about privilege: fast cars, inherited wealth, and disregard for the environment.

But destiny has other plans. When disaster strikes in Lapland's pristine wilderness, Kat and Mikael find themselves drawn together. In their struggle for survival, they uncover shared values and a connection they never expected.

Will Kat's heart thaw, granting her a second chance at love, or will it remain frozen forever? 

To Melt A Frozen Heart whisks you from London's bustling streets to Lapland's enchanting landscapes, where the Northern Lights and twinkling stars illuminate Kat and Mikael’s path.
