A tiger, a mauling, and the fallout that ensues.
Pro-life or pro-choice? Maybe there’s another option.
Grudge Tiger Review
“Helms’ writing style, with accessible but detailed prose, gives the tale an overall feeling of nostalgic comfort, a warmth and simplicity that’s present in animal-centered family movies like ‘Free Willy’ and ‘Homeward Bound’.”
-Kirkus Reviews
The Toronto Embryo Review

What People Are Saying
Praise for Grudge Tiger
“‘Grudge Tiger’ is a globe-trotting legal thriller with a cast of characters worthy of a Netflix documentary. Narrating the fallout of a tiger attack at a local zoo, Helms presents a motley assortment of grifters, voyeurs, ambulance chasers and amorous biologists, imbuing each of her characters with both honesty and dignity as they explore the pinwheeling opportunities brought about by a freak accident. At the center of the action is Jackie Bauer, a swaggering, no-nonsense defense attorney that Helms brings to life with remarkable precision, insight, and empathy. The dialogue is crisp, the action is fast, the twists are numerous, and the characters are lively and full of surprises. ‘Grudge Tiger’ is a delight.”
— Cameron MacKenzie, author of The Beginning of His Excellent and Eventful Career
“...a tale of intrigue, empathy and drama...uniquely detailed and flawlessly written novel.”
— Susan Coryell
“‘Grudge Tiger’ is a roaring good read! Rather than the well-worn plot of a lone attorney representing a tragic victim against an evil multinational corporation, Helms gives us the less-often-told, but equally compelling, story of a civil defense attorney trying her best to protect a small business owner from financial devastation at the hands of an unscrupulous plaintiff’s attorney and his say-anything-for-money client.”
