Helen's new novel The Glass Demon was published by Penguin UK in May, 2010.

Praise for the book:
"I absolutely loved The Glass Demon. It is incredibly spooky, but also a brilliant novel of family life. The atmosphere is quite Grimms' fairy tales—but also incredibly modern. I found it impossible to put down."
   —Helen Fraser, MD of Penguin UK
