HELENA MACAULEY
Biography
Helena McAuley loves trees and hates paper. That is why, when she finds paper, she must constantly desecrate it with her “writing”.
Lover of whisky, social justice, and the Oxford Comma, McAuley’s aim for her writing is to produce memorable characters and enjoyable stories that lure the unsuspecting reader into introspective thought.
A former student of archaeology and anthropology, McAuley has been published in the Williamstown Writers anthology ‘On the Edge’; the complaints section of her local newspaper; and her mother’s bi-annual letters home to family.
‘This is the Dawning’ is a serialised debut that will be published throughout the ASF Zodiac series. So if you want to know what Capricorn does next—har har—you have to read Aquarius.
She can be found twit-ing, insta-ing, and occasionally facebooked under the handle @thathmc
