Helena was born in Tucson, and her heart still lives there although she no longer does. After earning a BA in writing and mythology, and a master's in library science, she spent several years blogging about librarianship before returning to writing creatively.  Helena loves cheesy pop culture, cats without tails, and ancient Greek murderesses. <a href="https://www.helenagreer.com/books">Season of Love</a> is her debut novel.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Housekeeping</p> <p dir="ltr">- Recommendation: This week, Amanda recommends Pokemon Go!</p> <p dir="ltr">- Books: Check out our previous book recommendations, guests’ books, and more at <a href= "http://spiritspodcast.com/books">spiritspodcast.com/books</a></p> <p dir="ltr">- Call to Action: Go to <a href= "http://multicrew.club">multicrew.club</a> to check out all the new MultiCrew benefits!</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Sponsors</p> <p dir="ltr">- <a href= "http://betterhelp.com/spirits">BetterHelp</a> is an online therapy service.
