Helen Ryan

Helen Ryan has been at CMA ever since she left university. A writers agent, she’s built up a great client list. She has a nice flat and a smart car. But still something’s missing. Her boyfriend Pete for example, who dropped dead almost a year ago a few months before they were due to get married.

Helen is a strong, intelligent woman. She knows  that there are support groups that can help the bereaved. There are therapists and counsellors. But let’s face it they’re pretty much all tossers so she’s just been drinking a lot of red wine. That seems to help alright. That and hanging around with Alex who is clearly in even more shit than she is.  Knowing that however bad she feels she doesn’t feel as bad as Alex does, makes her feel lucky and that her life is so much better than she thought. Like when she watches Children In Need. Or Comic Relief….

In any case, Helen knows that things are going to get better. She knows that because three different mediums and a viking Rune-caster have told her so. As long as she never walks under ladders and avoids single magpies, nothing bad will ever happen to her again………

Helen is not looking for a boyfriend. She really isn’t. And even if she was she wouldn’t be looking for one who cried after having sex with her. Twice.
