Zachary Helmke

Zachary is a storyteller at heart, a rookie author with a lifelong passion for getting lost in the pages of books. Growing up, he devoured stories across every genre, often dragging his brothers into epic backyard reenactments of the scenes he loved most. That childhood wonder never left—it just found a pen.

When he’s not weaving tales of intrigue, adventure, or mystery, you can find Zachary behind a camera, exploring the world through a lens, serving in his church, or creating new memories with his family. Every story he writes carries a hint of the fantastical, a dash of the unknown, and a deep love for the journey of becoming the hero in your own story.
