Heleyne has been writing since junior school - her first work was a collection of poems called 'Give Them the Works' when she was ten years old. The poems were carefully handwritten on plain paper and tied together with knitting wool.
When she's not writing, Heleyne can often be found wandering on the fells or in the local park with her dog.

PICK UP THESE THREE UNMISSABLE CRIME THRILLERS IN THIS GREAT VALUE BOXSET:
Closer to Home
Merciless
Bad Seed
Closer to Home:
Family. Secrets. Murder.
Newly promoted DI Kate Fletcher has reluctantly returned to her home town after a twenty-year absence and a recent divorce. The discovery of a child’s body near the estate where Kate grew up has her rushing back to Thorpe – a place of bad memories and closed mouths.
As her team investigate the murder, they keep hitting dead ends. The community is reluctant to reopen old wounds and retell old stories. But Kate’s history refuses to stay buried.
Then another child disappears…
Can Kate solve the case and right the wrongs from her past?
Merciless:
Two murders. One missing girl.
DI Kate Fletcher is called out to a freezing canal where a woman’s body is found floating in a lock. With no identification, the police struggle to piece together the details of the woman’s life.
In Thorpe, a daughter confesses to the murder of her father. She says she helped him escape a painful death from liver cancer but was her role more active than she claims?
As Kate and her team investigate, the links between the two cases are inescapable and everything seems to lead back to the disappearance of a teenager years earlier.
Then the main suspect vanishes….
Can Kate connect the events of the past and present to bring the culprit to justice?
Bad Seed:
When the body of a woman is discovered near Doncaster’s red light district, DI Kate Fletcher is called to the scene.
The victim has an abdominal wound that looks like a Caesarean incision, leading the police to believe she may have been pregnant.
Kate’s team establish the woman’s identity but it soon becomes clear that those close to her have something to hide.
The post-mortem reveals the victim wasn’t pregnant and, when a second body is discovered with similar wounds, the police realise they are hunting for a serial killer with a sinister fixation.
Can Kate solve the case before another woman dies?
And can a ruthless, methodical killer be brought to justice?
Fans of authors like Joy Ellis, Charlie Gallagher and Angela Marsons will love the bestselling DI Kate Fletcher Series.
Do you really trust your friends?
It all starts with a reunion…
When two bodies are discovered over a hundred miles apart the most obvious link appears to be DI Kate Fletcher, but, as Kate's team investigate, a more sinister connection develops - one firmly rooted in the past.
The discovery of another victim confirms Kate's suspicion that this is a murderer with a clear agenda. All the evidence leads back to Thorpe – Kate’s childhood home – and the events of what should have been an idyllic summer more than thirty years ago.
As Kate starts to unravel the complex web, she realises the answer might lie in the links between the victims; specific individuals are being targeted.
Can the killer be stopped in time to save the final person on the list?
