Helen E. H. Madden is not a nom de plume or a pen name. It's the real name of a real person who writes and draws erotica. Helen began her career as an erotica writer in the late 1990s when she first read an issue of Playgirl magazine. The stories in it were so bad, she immediately decided she could do better. She certainly couldn't do worse. A few months later, she sold her first erotic short story. Things have never been the same since.

In addition to writing, Helen also works in computer graphics and traditional art. For years, she pedaled her artistic talents as a government contractor, cleaning up incredibly ugly Power Point presentations for the military. But in a moment of epiphany, Helen realized she should use her artistic powers for good instead of evil, and so she quit her lucrative day job to learn how to make dirty pictures and animated cartoons with her computer. No one who knows Helen is surprised by this change in careers.

These days, Helen works at home, happily creating stories and art about whatever sparks her prurient imagination. When she's not writing or drawing, she thinks about sex.

A lot.
