***USA Today Bestselling Author***Colleen Helme is the author of the bestselling Shelby Nichols Adventure Series, a wildly entertaining and highly humorous series about Shelby Nichols, a woman with the ability to read minds. She is also the author of the Sand and Shadow Series, a spin-off from the Shelby Nichols Series featuring Ella St. John, a woman with a special ‘healing’ touch. Between writing about these two friends, Colleen has her hands full, but is enjoying every minute of it, especially when they appear in books together. When not writing, Colleen spends most of her time thinking about new ways to get her characters in and out of trouble. She loves to connect with readers and admits that fans of her books keep her writing.

I thought it would be a nice change to have Uncle Joey and Ramos in trouble instead of Shelby. Of course that was where I started...but what actually happened once I got writing the story wasn't that cut and dry. I am a discovery writer, so I never know exactly where the story will take me, but that's what I love about writing. It's also what makes it hard, because it seems easy to get Shelby into trouble, but getting her out of it can be a challenge!(less)

I always am excited when it's time for another Shelby adventure. This was particularly fun because of the crossovers with Ella St. John. I love seeing what we missed when reading her story, and I also love knowing how to fill in the blanks t" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Colleen Helme  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There are times when a satisfying lie is better than the awful truth.”
Colleen Helme, Carrots

“Of course, the way Ramos had acted probably made it seem like I was his girlfriend, but did they have to think I wasn’t his type? At all?”
Colleen Helme, Lie or Die

“A stray thought that maybe I should run away to South America started to sound like a good idea. I could change my name to Nikki Shelverstien and dye my hair a rich dark brunette. I could be a maid at a high-class hotel and pretend I didn’t speak Spanish or English so everyone would leave me alone.”
Colleen Helme, Trapped by Revenge

Topics Mentioning This Author

“What the heart knows today the head will understand tomorrow”
James Stephens, The Crock of Gold

“It was good, and nothing good is truly lost. It stays part of a person, becomes part of their character. So part of you goes everywhere with me. And part of me is yours, forever”
Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers

“Artists are visionaries. We routinely practice a form of faith, seeing clearly and moving toward a creative goal that shimmers in the distance - often visible to us, but invisible to those around us.”
Julia Cameron

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
douglas adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
Charles W. Eliot

Hey - Just wondering - is it out on kindle? If not do you have any plans to do so?
Thanks!"


Yes, there is a Kindle edition. If you go to my profile and click on the "Wind and Fire" image, you'll see the Kindle edition under Other Editions and the url link to it on Amazon.

Cheryl Landmark Thanks for switching editions, Colleen. I hope you enjoy the book.


Cheryl Landmark Hi, Colleen. I noticed that you have my book "Wind and Fire" on your to-read list. First of all, thank you very much for adding it!

I just wanted to let you know that the edition you have marked is no longer in print. If you go to my author profile, you'll see another version there with two hands holding fire on the cover. This is the most current edition. If you could change your edition to this one instead of the other one, that would be great. Thanks.


Colleen Helme I'm glad you liked the artwork. I will send you a PDF copy to your email address listed on your blogspot. I hope you will enjoy it. There is also some artwork for Flame of Destiny on my website - hope you'll take a look!
Happy Reading! :)


Cheryl Landmark The Lord of Wind and Fire series you just marked to read sounds very intriguing, too. Groan!! My TBR pile just keeps getting bigger and bigger, so, as much as I would love to read these books, I'd better hold off for awhile. :) But, they're definitely going to end up there later.


Colleen Helme Wow - Thanks Cheryl. I hope you like it. I will definitely check out yours too. I love to find new authors and goodreads is a great forum for that.
Happy Reading!


Cheryl Landmark Thanks for accepting my friend request, Colleen. Just wanted you to know that I ordered your book "Songbird" and added it to my TBR pile. It sounds like it's right up my alley for young adult fantasy.
