Helen Grant

Helen Grant was born in London and showed an early leaning towards the arts, having been told off for writing stories under the desk in maths lessons at school. She went on to read Classics at St Hugh’s College, Oxford, and then worked in marketing for ten years to fund her love of travelling. In 2001, Helen and her family moved to Bad Munstereifel in Germany. It was exploring the legends of this beautiful old town that inspired her to write her first novel, The Vanishing of Katharina Linden, which is set there. Helen now lives in Scotland with her husband, two children and two cats.
