Jane is haunted. Since she was a child, she has carried a ghost girl that feeds on the secrets and fears of everyone around her, whispering to Jane what they are thinking and feeling, even when she doesn’t want to know. Henry, Jane’s brother, is ridden by a genius ghost that forces him to build strange and dangerous machines. Their mother is possessed by a lonely spirit that burns anyone she touches. In Swine Hill, a place of defeat and depletion, there are more dead than living.
When new arrivals begin scoring precious jobs at the last factory in town, both the living and the dead are furious. This insult on the end of a long economic decline sparks a conflagration. Buffeted by rage on all sides, Jane must find a way to save her haunted family and escape the town before it kills them.

Welcome to the Helium Radio Network! Helium (He) is lighter than air and we are here to bring heavy-hitting airwaves to the world. Helium was conceived in 2010 and officially born in July 2017 in St. Petersburg, FL.

Helium Radio is the overarching network that balloons over two existing global radio stations. Life Improvement Radio and Life Improvement Radio After Dark were born from our sister company, Life Improvement Media Group, Inc. Helium Radio has been a long-term project in the works. Now, each radio show has its own channel on the network.

Life Improvement Radio is still enhancing lives daily as our first station. Our second station is still airing mature content for immature audiences from Helium Radio After Dark, formerly Life Improvement Radio After Dark. Stations three and up are currently being configured and open for business!

By revamping the radio station structure, we can add much more content to play 24 hours a day continuously. This is great news to both our listeners and radio show hosts. Even future show hosts can benefit because this is not a first-come first-serve basis. We can have multiple shows about cooking, business, leadership, real estate, tourism and hospitality, and more. You name it, we can play it.

We want to thank our original listeners–all 4 million of them for their loyalty. We have added a new show in June 2017 about leadership with many more in the pipeline. We have multiple irons in the fire and would be happy to have more! If you’ve ever wanted to speak out with your own show, now is the time! You could have your own channel on Helium Radio Network! Drop us a line via email and we would be happy to talk further!
