First time author, Delia O’Callaghan, who has published Honeysuckle to Handcuffs, always wanted to write a book and has been an avid note-taker since her teens, cataloguing her romantic life.
The following year, Delia took a trip back to Ireland, in a disastrous twist of faith which turned her life upside down – she found herself locked up in the San Diego Correctional Facility. Ironically, although Delia’s worst nightmare came to fruition, she now had the new material she desperately needed (a story she couldn’t make up) and Honeysuckle to Handcuffs was born.
In 2012 Delia O’Callaghan was one of the finalists in the inaugural Irish Writers’ Centre Novel Fair competition. She lives in London where she is working on her second novel – her working conditions and surroundings have now much improved.
