Hello and welcome.

I’m Helen Cox, a UK-based author with a lifelong love of storytelling, a vivid imagination and a particular fondness for characters who find themselves in extraordinary situations.

I write across a variety of genres, including mystery, romance and fantasy, sometimes under different pen names. Whether I’m dreaming up a puzzling murder, a little everyday magic or a love story that tugs at us somewhere deep inside, there’s one thing all my books have in common: heart.

For me, the best stories aren’t simply about what happens next. They’re about the people we meet along the way, the relationships that shape us, the secrets we keep and the courage it takes to change our lives. I love creating characters who feel like old friends, worlds readers want to return to and stories that offer a little escape from the everyday. Many readers tell me that they reread my books for comfort and, to me, there is no greater compliment than that.

You might already know me as the author of the Kitt Hartley Yorkshire Mysteries, a long-running series of cosy crime novels featuring a book-loving amateur sleuth with a knack for finding trouble. But there’s plenty more bubbling away in my imagination, and I’m always excited to explore new characters, places and possibilities.

If you want behind the scenes access to my writing process and upcoming projects, you might consider joining my mailing list to receive a monthly missive. You can sign up for free, here.

Whatever brought you here, I hope you’ll find a story that speaks to you. Have a look around, discover my books and make yourself at home.

Happy reading!
