Helena Halme Books is open

It’s here! My brand new online bookshop, Helena Halme Books is now open.

Once a Bookseller …

Did you know that I’m a former bookseller? Although my career in a bookstore was quite short-lived, I loved every minute of the time I spent in (now sadly gone) England’s Lane Books in London’s Belsize Park.

I loved recommending titles to people. I often played the game of guessing what a particular customer would buy as they stepped into the shop. We had a wonderful team of booksellers and held regular book clubs, children’s reading hours and author events.

I remember particularly fondly the time when there was a queue out of the door and round the corner for David Nicholls, author of the huge best-seller, One Day.  We also hosted Tessa Hadley and the children’s author, Julia Donaldson, among many others. 

If I could, I would set up a small Notting Hill (You know, the romantic film with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts) kind of bookshop tomorrow. Sadly, I don’t have the money or the time.

As I am not able to bring my dream of a brick-and-mortar bookshop into reality, I went for the next best thing. I opened my own Shopify bookstore online.

I am beyond excited!

The shop is simply called, HelenaHalmeBooks, and it features all my fiction titles in Ebook form. Paperbacks will find their way into the shop soon. The headline of the shop is Nordic Fiction with a Noir Twist, which I think is the right description of the type of stories I write. I hope you agree.

Please visit my shop!

Please do go and have a look at Helena Halme Books and let me know what you think of my new shop. If you’d like to buy paperbacks directly from me, watch this space.  They are on their way into the product selection and will be for sale soon. 

Let me know in the comments what you think of Helena Halme Books, my brand-new bookshop!
