Invite Helena St. George for an Interview

Few dystopian novels explore the survival and resistance strategies of people society often ignores. Ruination stands out by focusing on characters often overlooked: the homeless, the addicted, or the disabled- in short, those frequently considered outcasts, while examining how an authoritarian regime measures human value.


Helena St. George treats her protagonist authentically and multidimensionally, portraying resilience, survival, and quiet defiance in a world that demands productivity and self-sufficiency. Written for adult readers with appeal to new adult and older YA audiences, the novel fills a gap in dystopian literature, offering a fresh perspective on power, oppression, and the human spirit. Filtered through Maya’s sharp, ironic first-person perspective, the story unfolds as a deeply personal account of survival.


Ruination, Book 1 of The Unmaking of Tomorrow Trilogy, coming in 2027

Q: What inspired your current work in progress?
A: I wanted to explore how, under an authoritarian regime, ordinary people may be targeted for reform or eradication. Maya’s story is deeply personal, about trauma, resilience, and reclaiming her voice. I wanted to tell her story from her perspective to immerse the reader in how she experiences the world. Continue
