FIND THE BOOK ON...

Welcome to a world of adventure, based in the fictitious village of Sea Cove Bay, reminiscent of St Bees in Cumbria.

Launching her first book ‘Captain Black Heart and the Ghosts of Sea Cove Bay’, Helen welcomes you to read about the extraordinary adventures of brothers Sam and Max Forshaw, discovering their unique gift to connect with unsettled spirits—the souls of the departed yearning for peace.

Come and meet Sam and Max’s loyal friends and family, particularly Grandad Black, the family patriarch and would be pirate! Henry Spode, Sam’s arch enemy and of course Jet, the black labrador.

Great read for teens and parents

I dont usually write reviews but this book deserves one. Brilliant read for my son and parent alike. Great characters. Well worth it.

Fast paced

The book is well paced throughout. It's full of action and an interesting variation on the pirate story genre with references to the legend local to where the story is based. Looking forward to the next one!
