Hello! First off, it's weird writing about yourself... but here goes! My name is Helena and I've been writing since forever as a hobby and stress reliever. I'm married and live on Cape Cod with two cats I ADORE! I have a degree in philosophy which is one way to make you question every single thing about life :) My "real job" is a a graphic designer and I design local guidebooks here on the Cape. I absolutely love it.Aardvark the Shark is my secret friend which I finally decided needed to come out and meet everyone. He's a super nice guy who likes to dance. In the upcoming months, Aardvark will be having many more adventures. He is also coming out with his own line of coloring and puzzle books this summer. He has a fun YouTube channel and he has been known to make an appearance on Facebook and "Finstagram" :) One fun fact about Aardvark is the cartoon is actually me in my Aardvark the Shark suit. Since I am a graphic designer, I was able to "Toon" myself and now I use him in all of the Aardvark stories. Hey - that's one way to be original!Aside from Aardvark, I am a Halloween ADDICT so look for a couple new books coming out this fall : Aardvark the Shark's Sharktober (of course Aardvark likes spooky, too!) and a gloriously creepy Halloween cookbook.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
