About the Author
Helms lives in Washington State, and while considering his natural gift as writing, he enjoys the arts in general, and maintains an open mind to the full spectrum of artistic creations. Captivated by the "When Worlds Collide" duology, and its apparent inconclusive ending, Helms spent many years researching the first two novels, as well as sciences used in "The Terrans of Beta", to create a coherent story that readers of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures could enjoy. An avid scientist himself, Helms has also participated in a vast variety of activities including volunteer firefighting, engineering/drafting, auto mechanics, lapidary, the full spectrum of writing, and is also a college graduate from GRCC with emphasis on CAD drafting, English and the arts. Throughout his experiences, Helms has been awarded in multiple honor roles, from Honor Society at GRCC to awards as Most Improved Student in the 2004 WA State Fire Academy. Also an avid political activist, Helms has participated in the late Congresswoman Dunn's "Youth Advisory Council" for several years, and is a strong advocate against discrimination and social intolerance. A patriot at heart, Helms wanted his strong passion for liberty and justice to be evident within his novel, while incorporating a small portion of moderate Christian perspective. Having been a civil servant for several years, Helms respects those who serves our country, especially those who have sacrificed themselves in the preservation and procreation of freedom and justice. Although Helms began writing "The Terrans of Beta" before the attacks on 9/11/2001, Helms has been inspired by his nations determination and perseverance, an inspiration that shows in this novel. Helms hopes that readers of his material will be similarly inspired, and while taking a moderate and tolerant approach to social climates, hopes that this book not only embraces the times, but transcends a message to inspire future generations as well. While "The Terrans of Beta" is Helms' first novel, he has also privately written a vast collection of poetry, short fiction, and inspirational essays, and would hope to share that material with his audience in the future. Helms aspires to be an elementary grade English teacher as well, so that he could pass on his talents to others just learning literary skills and trying to explore their own talents.
