Helen Granger and Frances Pearce, with whom Helen writes as "Helen Frances", grew up in country towns, hundreds of miles apart, and first met when they were grown up with children of their own. Helen spent several years travelling and working in Europe, met her American husband in Crete and lived for some years on the west coast of America, where her two sons were born. Her daughter was born after she returned to live in Australia. She moved to SA in 1972 and lives at Montacute, in the Adelaide Hills.
