Authors Tuesday Episode with Author Lucy O'Callaghan

Hi and welcome to another episode of my authors Tuesday podcast interview with author Lucy O'Callaghan, it was great to talk to Lucy all about her writing and her awsome novel which is out today The Lies Beneath. Here is Lucy's bio, enjoy all. Lucy O’Callaghan’s bio.  Lucy is originally from Yorkshire but met a Galway man at university in Wales and moved to the West of Ireland. She studied English Studies and Philosophy and travelled some of the world before embarking on teaching English.             Motherhood to two boys and a girl distracted her from her career for a long time and she enjoyed working in the home. Courses in journalism and writing fiction kept her creative brain ticking over. Writing stories at first for her children, she moved towards contemporary women’s fiction. A self-confessed people watcher, stories that happen to real people have always fascinated her.             Lucy owned and managed a preschool for 16 years, teaching 2 to 5-year-olds. She has been a member of both in-person and online writing groups for many years. To further immerse herself in the writing world, Lucy has, in recent years, completed courses in several areas of publishing including copywriting and editing.             Lucy writes a weekly Really Useful Links column for writing.ie aimed at finding the best advice out there for various aspects of writing. From plotting v pantsing, world-building, scene description, and character traits, to working through the saggy middle, her columns have all areas covered. She also writes regular feature interviews with literary agents.             When not writing, Lucy can be found walking the beaches of Ireland and exploring her favourite Burren hills alongside her husband and dog. These walks are often when the best story ideas come to mind, and plot problems are teased out and fixed. She also likes to rearrange her purple pens and purple notebooks, and line up her collection of elephants (not real).             The Lies Beneath, is her first novel, published by Poolbeg. With two more books on the way, Lucy is thoroughly enjoying her writing journey so far! https://linktr.ee/lucyocallaghan?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=8119be1c-2703-4b73-a405-97134341c72a
