Helen at Ballet Camp, Helen and Lalitha, and Helen On The Run
Helen at Ballet Camp is to go online today; I'm not sure whether Smashwords has unlocked it yet. It appears that it has.
Helen and Lalitha: The Lost Years was completed a couple of weeks ago, and has been looked at by a few readers. If you've bought it, my thanks; I would give it away free, except that putting a price on it enables me to ascertain whether readers are seriously interested. I tend to download free books fairly freely, if you know what I mean!
Helen On the Run: The Lost Years 2 is what I'm getting ready now. I started writing this one from memory, because, like Helen and Lalitha, I had lost the text. But I came upon a pile of manuscripts halfway through, and now I'm just transcribing it, and editing as I go along. As a result, the texture of this book changes abruptly in the middle. My style has gotten a little different since I started writing Helen. The material that is in my oldest style is On the Run, though as am editing it, and to some degree, censoring it. Someday I might lay the whole thing out there, but it would be very close to pornography, and I would not put it on Smashwords, because they want their site to be 'Family Friendly'. I don't know; some of the stuff I have found there must definitely be classed as erotica.
Background: Ballet Camp
This one has a really kiddie tone. Somehow I had put myself into the frame of mind of a teenager, and had taken all my self-censorship off. I can't remember why; I think I might have been reading some teen trash novels, and gotten too deeply into that groove. The story up to this point is all typed up and ready, for the most part, except for the bits where Helen meets up with Leila, a nude dancer girl, and they fall madly in love, and then Helen meets up with two sisters, the Baker Girls. Helen's year in Canada is also missing completely; I think I must have thought it too fantastic to keep, but I can't think of any way to bridge her history between her College years, and the Ballet Camp except with that year with a woman called Sylvia in what I vaguely called the wilds of Canada. The rest of it is all carefully typed up.
Anyway, Helen goes off to Ballet Camp, a little episode that is completely unrelated to the rest of the story, and none of the characters in that story ever re-enter the rest of the saga. Still, we learn that Helen is a fair dancer, which helps her to relate to Lorna, a younger girl, who enters the story in Lalitha.
Background: Lalitha
This is a somewhat serious episode. Helen, so far, has had several serious loves: mainly with Janet, Leila, and Marsha Moore. At this point, she had dropped out of college at the end of her junior year, to go off and live with Sylvia, but the latter had learned that Helen was a musician, and does not feel comfortable encouraging her to live in the woods, doing nothing. So she and Marsha Moore (a movie actress) begin working on Helen to send her back to College.
Lalitha is about how Helen goes back to school, only to meet a pretty Indian girl called Lalitha. They fall in love, but Helen keeps at her schoolwork, mostly because Lalitha herself is a serious student. But after Lalitha's freshman year, her domineering father yanks her back out to India, where she is married off to an uneducated drunkard. Helen manages to get a ticket out to India, only in time to witness the wedding, which throws her completely out of her mind. She wanders around India, until she finds herself in a Roman Catholic convent, where she remains for ten years as a lay sister, quite unbeknownst to Lalitha.
There is a huge fire at Lalitha's home, but she and her little boy escape, but her husband dies. With the help of missionary friends, Lalitha travels to the US, hoping to find Helen. But Helen, of course, is still in India, which Lalitha doesn't know. But she has a kid with her, and she buckles down to earn enough to support him and educate him, having made contact with some of Helen's friends, who promise to let her know if Helen surfaces. The rest of the story is how Helen finds her way back, very much the worse for having a brain tumor removed, resulting in some significant memory loss, and how Lalitha hunts her down. But, by the end of the story, Helen's roving eye is just too much for Lalitha to cope with, and Helen is on her own, a graduate student at Penn, while Lalitha works at a drugstore in Baltimore. But the story introduces us to Helen's adopted children, Gena and Alison, who are major characters in the rest of the Helen saga.
Background: On The Run
This part is about Helen's kids. A Philadelphia court rules that Helen is an unfit mother, based on the fact that she was a nude dancer at an adult entertainment establishment in Florida (in the year with Leila, as I noted above). The kids are taken away, and given to foster parents. Helen plans suicide, but before she can go through with it, Gena and Allie turn up, having run away from the foster home. Helen, happy, but obviously fearful of being accused of kidnapping, goes into hiding with the children, and this story is about their adventures on the run. One of the most important developments is that they are joined by Penny, a woman who signs off as Helen's housekeeper and sort of general assistant, and her daughter Erin. The three girls become firm friends. A second development is that Helen has gotten pregnant during an impromptu fling with a student, and throughout most of the story, she is getting increasingly visibly pregnant. Helen winds up at a boarding school, teaching music. But she is recognized as soon as the baby is delivered, and her shape returns to normal, and is taken into custody.
Problems
One of the minor characters in the story is a beautiful high school senior called Barbara, whom Helen meets while she is disguised as a man. The girl is beautiful, utterly innocent and very repressed, and completely sex-crazy. I had clearly had a good old time exploring the process by which both Barbara and Helen rationalize their increasing attraction to each other. On Barbara's part, there's no increasing, really; she's completely infatuated with Helen (disguised as a man, of course,) right from the start. In the manuscript, they start kissing in corners, and progress to what we would call heavy petting, but it's very one-sided, because of course Helen doesn't have the equipment to allow serious exploration on the part of Barb.
When Helen starts to 'show', things get complicated, but I'll leave you to discover how that is taken care of when the book comes out. Unfortunately, I take most of the sex out of the story, so those of you who would have looked forward to that will have to wait until I publish the uncensored version sometime, if I ever do.

A New Helen Book In Preparation
As I have said in earlier posts, my first piece of creative writing was a story called Helen, about a girl called Helen, whose father has been in a state of depression after her mother gets killed in a freak accident when she's a teenager. But Helen gets a choir scholarship at a well-known college, and has to get there without help from her father. A young couple on vacation, Janet and Jason, picks her up on the highway, and they're just about to take up a teaching job at the same town as Helen's college is in, and they ferry her out.
Janet and Helen fall in love, and Janet, Jason and Helen live together for a couple of years, during which Helen become famous as both a singer and an instrumentalist, and as, well, various other things. This was all written by me just for my own entertainment, and the plot is fantastic, or at least, seemed fantastic at the time. I was at a fairly low point when I was writing this stuff, and it more than served its purpose, looking back. I discovered that I was fairly good at writing fiction, which gave me a boost, and it brought be through those bad years, culminating in 9/11, which was a bad time for most Americans.
By the time Helen's junior year is drawing to a close, Helen has fallen in love, and had sex with dozens of girls. My own private life was pretty much a desert, so I had a lot of sex vicariously through Helen. She was never just about sex; she would fall madly in love with each girl, or some girl would fall madly in love with Helen, and she could never turn her face from any pretty girl who fell in love with her, and so they always ended up in bed, or making out on a bike while going at top speed, or things like that.
Anyway, the multiple relationships ---and they were definitely relationships--- and Helen's schoolwork, and her musical performances: opera, concerts, recitals, all began to tear her apart, and Helen snaps, and she wants to give it all up, and go live with a certain girl, Leila, whose mother owns a sort of classy nightclub in Florida. (I have never been to Florida, so I wrote about it as if it were some fantasy land where anything could happen.) Leila was crazy about Helen, but what was more, Leila and Helen performed nude at this nightclub, and Helen loved it. (Unlike most nightclubs, the nude dancing was just that: dancing; the customers were not allowed up close to the girls, and there was no sticking money in the belts of the girls, and so on. It was very high-class.)
But Helen has made friends with this mysterious woman called Sandy, who seems to be in the business of helping people have all sorts of adventures in disguise. Sandy has a lot of people working for her, who can supply wigs, hair color, costumes, makeup, so that they can disappear for a time, and do things they couldn't do normally. Sandy suggests that Helen attend a tennis camp for nudist girls, in Canada. Helen goes along with the plan, with her long, curly blond hair straightened and cut short, and colored pink. She has a great time, but becomes a captive to the spell of the camp nurse, called Sylvia. Sylvia wants nothing to do with the camp kids unless they fall sick. But Helen pursues Sylvia relentlessly, and Sylvia gives in, and lets Helen stay with her after the camp is over, for a whole year.
Once Sylvia finds out that Helen is a musician, and a girl who has dropped out of college, she and Sandra want to send Helen back, to finish her education. To encourage Helen in that direction, they first urge her to assist at another camp; this time, it is a ballet camp for girls in the French Alps. This episode is in Helen at Ballet Camp.
Then Helen returns, goes back to College, where a surprise awaits. There is a lovely girl from India who has just arrived as a freshman. They fall in love, and when the Indian girl is asked to go back home to get married, Helen follows her. The girl is married off to a fellow she barely knows, and Helen is broken-hearted, and bums around in India, gets sick, and lives in a sort of Indian convent for ten years, where she gradually loses her memory of her life in the US. She is discovered to have a brain tumor, and the nuns at the convent seek help from the US Embassy, which decides to ship her back to the US for treatment.
She is recognized at the hospital, and after the surgery, returned to her family, which has had no idea where she has been for so long. Meanwhile, not knowing all this, the Indian girl, now a widow, has come to live with friends in the US. When she finds out that Helen is back in the US, and has lost her memory, she hunts her down in California, where Helen is now a construction worker, having lost all her memory of being a musician.
After a lot of interesting adventures (well, interesting to me, because, as you can imagine, all the things that Helen is interested in are exactly the things that I am, and I can honestly expect few of my readers to be interested in all of them! This is why I can only hope to put these stories before the public in the form of e-books, because I expect the readership to be minute, at best), Helen has acquired two daughters, Gena and Alison, who are tragically orphaned. The Indian girl (Lalitha, now a woman, with a son of her own,) manages to bring Helen, who regains her memory, back to the College, and then to graduate school in Philadelphia, where they settle down for a couple of years of relatively stable existence, the kids going to school, Helen doing well, and as usual, taking on a lot more than she can handle, and lusting after various women, until Lalitha in her turn snaps, and walks away.
This part is so fantastic that I despaired of ever writing it down. It was all on my very first laptop, but the computer died, and I had a terrible time salvaging the parts of Helen that I had typed up out of various floppy discs on which they had been saved. But, unfortunately, this part of the story simply had to be published, not least because it give the origins of Lalitha, Gena and Alison, and a context for a great deal of the story.
So I wrote down all this over the last month or so, and I'm getting it ready to put on Smashwords in the near future. As usual, I had trouble trying to find a photograph of an Indian girl whose face would come close to my mental image of young Lalitha. Lalitha ages from a youthful 17 to about 30 over the course of this story, but I have a fairly good prospect; I need to work on it a little.
