Pirans is not at all like the cove from Sapphire’s home, where she was able to find Ingo. “Tide Knot” is the second novel in the “Ingo” series and was released in the year 2006. And Ingo has darkness to it, but still seems like a nice place to visit. The image of Cornwall stuck with many, even years after they had read it. Fans of the novel found this paints a picture unlike any other story does. These are believable characters that Helen has created here in this story and have quite a lot of personality to them. Conor, which is her brother, goes missing for hours at a time, and she starts thinking that maybe he too is hearing the ocean’s call. Maybe that is why she keeps imagining that she is getting pulled to the sea. She misses him a lot, and wants to hear more about the Mer, that live in Ingo, which is an underwater kingdom.

Sapphire’s dad disappears under mysterious circumstances into the waves near the Cornwall coast, which is where family has lived for a long time. “Ingo” is the first novel in the “Ingo” series and was released in the year 2005. She learned more about prose technique through writing short stories that gave her the confidence to write longer stories. It was when she wrote short stories that she saw her first break into fiction. She completed two novels that never saw the light of day, and it would be another decade until she wrote another one. It was around this time that she wrote the poetry that would later appear in “The Apple Fall”, which is her first collection of poetry. She graduated from University of York after studying the subject of English, and taught English in Finland, as a foreign language. She used the different forms that she learned, and would write them down much later in life. First, she would learn all kinds of verse (be they hymns, ballads, or rhymes), before writing her own poems. She enjoyed poetry from the start of her childhood.

She wrote poetry, short stories, and novels. She wrote stories for children, teens, and adults. She was nominated for and won many awards in her time some include a McKetterick Prize in the year 1994, for the novel “Zennor in Darkness” and the first Orange Prize Winner for her novel “A Spell of Winter” in the year 1996. In the year 1980, she was married to Frank Charnley, who is a lawyer. She had two kids (one son and a daughter), a stepson, as well as three grand kids when she died. Because she was a part of a giant family, she heard a lot of stories, not to mention the fact that the stories have different meanings to whoever hears them and it is possible to recast the stories from different perspectives. She was the second of four kids, and her father was the oldest of a dozen kids. Author Helen Dunmore was born on Decem(in Beverley, Yorkshire) and died on J(in Bristol, England) at the age of 64 of cancer.
