Helen DePrima
About
Helen DePrima grew up on horseback on her grandfather's farm in Kentucky. After visiting a cattle ranch in Colorado as a teenager, she fell in love with all things Western and attended University of Colorado hoping to find a home in the Rockies. Instead, she met a Jersey guy headed for vet school -- life's funny that way. After four years as a Visiting Nurse in northern Colorado and later doing shift relief in New Hampshire, Helen traded patients in hospital gowns for injured and orphaned wildlife from bats to beavers, hummingbirds to hawks. Since retiring, she's been pursuing a lifelong ambition: writing. Her first novel, The High Road Home, is set in Kentucky and Colorado followed by the Cameron's Pride trilogy concerned with the lives of the Cameron family in southern Colorado. Returning to her roots, she has completed a mystery novel, first in a new series, set in the Louisville area against the backdrop of an equine rescue stable. Cave Creek will be available in spring of 2023.
