American journalist, Jenny Osborne, has just received her first big assignment abroad to report on the war situation between the government and rebels in Congo, but soon after their arrival, she and her photojournalist, John Spencer discover that things are not as they seem.
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write The Helpers: An International Tale of Espionage and Corruption?
Suzanna E. Nelson: My inspiration stems from the love I have for the African continent. I was born in Africa and moved to New York as a teenager, where I attended high school, and university and later worked. I now work for the UN in Geneva, Switzerland. For most my UN assignments, I work with developing countries in Africa, which I love. When I was young, I experienced war first hand, and I think that inspired the type of books I write.
