Helen Starbuck

Helen Starbuck is an award-winning author who won the National Indie Excellence award. The OR nurse and Colorado native is the author of suspense, romance, and mystery novels. She made her debut with “The Mad Hatter’s Son” the first of the “Annie Collins Mystery” series and has never looked back since. She has also written several single standing titles and received starred reviews from Kirkus. Starbuck began writing as a teenager when she wrote about the Beatles in her teenage years, before progressing to more adult topics. The novels in her “Annie Collins” mystery series are written from the perspective of OR nurse Annie Collins. Many reviewers believe she has a tendency towards dark and sometimes dry humor and many have wondered if there is something she shares in common with her lead protagonist Annie. While she has acknowledged that she has a few things in common with Annie she does not think she has the same boldness as her. She usually visits book clubs in person or via Zoom or Skype for clubs outside the Boulder or Denver metro areas. Helen also loves to attend a variety of author events in and around Denver.
