J. S. Helms is the pen name of Julie Helms, a wife, mother of two grown daughters, and—most recently—a grandmother. Over the years, she has been a sheep breeder, homeschool mom, curriculum store owner, and Bible study teacher.
She writes fiction that explores biblical themes through story rather than explanation, seeking to make complex theological ideas more tangible and human.
In addition to The White Line, she is the author of Gods They Had Never Known, a novel that draws on Genesis 6 and the Book of the Watchers. Releasing January 2027.
