Season’s Greetings

December 20, 2019 by Helena Halme

 

It’s nearly Christmas and the end of the year so I wanted to send you my Season’s Greetings!

New Series

Looking back to 2019, I’ve had a fabulous writing year. I’ve published two novels in a new series, Love on the Island, set on the stunningly beautiful Åland Islands. Book I, The Island Affair, came out in March and Book II, An Island Christmas was published this November. Both novels have done very well and An Island Christmas has even been No1 Hot New Release on Amazon for over two months.

Nonfiction Book

In 2019 I also published a nonfiction title, which I have been compiling for some time, Write in Another Language. This book is my second ‘serious’ title and follows Write Your Story, a guide to turning your life into fiction, which came out last year. These writing guides are fun to write but do often take a lot longer than anticipated, so I am considering to have a break from nonfiction in 2020. Unless an idea I’ve had about a book on writing a romance series turns into an irresistible project. Watch this space!

The Day We Met

Another little project that I am very proud of for 2019 is the prequel novella to the Love on the Island series. The Day We Met takes us back to when Alicia and Liam meet on a snowy day at Uppsala University, near Stockholm. Not for sale and only available to my Readers’ Group, I wrote this story while I was waiting for my editor to read The Island Affair. I thoroughly enjoyed setting down a significant event in my main characters’ lives. If you’d like to read this novella, you can sign up to my mailing list here.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

All that remains for me to do is to send you season’s greetings. I hope you’ll be able to spend the holidays with family, friends and loved ones. I’ll see you in 2020!
