Helen Peppe
Writer & Photographer
Helen Peppe with dog, Wizard Helen Peppe is a writer and photographer who wants to do more of both. She lives in Maine with her two children, four dogs, eight rescued rabbits, four guinea pigs, and two of the most destructive kittens she imagines can exist anywhere in this natural world. The former editor of Eastern Equerry and Wordplay Magazine, her short stories, articles, and photographs have appeared in anthologies and magazines, including Practical Horseman, Equus, American Trakehner, Arabian Horse Times, Dog Fancy, Dog World, Dressage Today, Equine Journal, The Horse, Horse Journal Quarterly, Lynx Eye, Mused Literary Review and Cats Magazine.

Several of her short stories and photographs appear in textbooks and educational media. Helen is the author of the limited edition Live on Stage: A History of the State Theater and creator of The Maine Stable Guide, published annually between 1995-2005. She holds an M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Southern Maine's Stonecoast program where she met many talented authors who inspired her to get to work. While Helen's debut memoir, Pigs Can't Swim, is out and about with her agent Wendy Strothman, she is completing her second memoir, Naked, Finding my Feet and writing a novel, The Clubhouse . She writes, she photographs, she kickboxes and she runs, all with her dogs by her side or at her feet where they attempt to keep at bay those two previously mentioned kittens.
