Welcome!
Hi there! Welcome to my website.
My name is Helen Callaghan and I'm a writer of speculative fiction. I'm planning to use these pages to say a little more about me and my work, and ideally they will expand in due course.
Currently I have finished my novel,
Mephistophela, and it's been submitted to editors. I was delighted when the novel attracted the attention of some great agents and I closed with one in June. Additionally, I'm working on a follow-up to
Mephistophela, called
Sleepwalker, which I have just finished in first draft, as well as some new short fiction. Short fiction I publish on the site will be announced in the
News section.
I'm a member of the
T Party writing group in London, and I am also their webmaster. Most of my work is critiqued by them in the regular monthly workshops.
I also keep a blog, available on
this site and at
Livejournal itself. In it I describe writing
Mephistophela and the work I'm now doing on the next book.
I am on
Facebook as well, and have very recently ventured into
Twitter too.
Finally, I am represented by Judith Murray at
Greene and Heaton Ltd.
Thanks so much for visiting, and please enjoy the site!
Helen
