Bookshop Interview with Author Helen Hynson Vettori, Episode #266

Apr 1, 2026

Author Helen Hynson Vettori discusses her new Black Swan thriller series. The first two books—Black Swan Impact and Black Swan Shock—are out now, with a third on the way. Before becoming a novelist, Helen spent her career as a government planner for catastrophic events like pandemics. When she retired in 2018, she imagined a quiet life of travel and crafting. Then 2020 arrived. As the world shut down, Helen was stunned to see the government ignore the very plans she helped create. To cope with the anxiety of that moment, she began journaling, which quickly transformed into storytelling. The result was Black Swan Impact, set during a pandemic in the year 2113, followed by, Black Swan Shock, centered on the aftermath of a massive earthquake. Drawing on her real-world expertise, Helen writes stories rooted in disaster but driven by energy, resilience, and hope.
