EXCITING NEWS!

Helen's latest book, a True Crime legal thriller, A QUESTION OF INTENT, is now in the final stages of publication.
Watch for upcoming news on final publication date and book launch information.

A QUESTION OF INTENT is the true story of a little girl’s dismal life and the events that followed her tragic death. The author had access to the transcripts of the Preliminary Inquiry and the subsequent trial and appeals, and many related supporting documents. 

This is the story of a four-year-old who was beaten to death in the name of discipline. Susan’s story is one of physical punishment that began when she was an infant of five months andended with her death just days before her fifth birthday. There was no doubt that she was physically abused and that the discipline was excessive, but the question that became the core of the trial was whether or not her parents had intended to kill her.

The legal proceedings that form the basis of this book are fascinating. The reader will be enthralled by the courtroom arguments as the Crown Prosecutors, who charged her mother and father with murder, sought justice for Susan while the defence team sought to defend her parents from this terrible accusation.

Some readers may find the verdict and sentence unsatisfactory. Others may conclude that the justice system operated as it should have. Was this child’s death intentional? The author does not attempt to second guess the results of the trial, but simply presents the evidence and the legal arguments, leaving the reader to decide.
