My name is Helen Callaghan and I write fiction whenever I’m left unsupervised. I live in Guildford amongst teetering piles of books. I’ve always written, it’s my one constant. I was at various points a student nurse, barmaid and drama student.
Eventually I settled into bookselling, working as a fiction specialist and buyer for a variety of bookshops, and did that for nearly ten years. In the end I became restless and studied for A-levels at night school. I achieved a place at Cambridge University as a mature student, where I studied Archaeology. My debut novel, Dear Amy, was a top ten Sunday Times bestseller. Everything is Lies followed in 2018 and Night Falls, Still Missing in 2020. My latest novel, The Drowning Girls, is available now.
