Nuala Casey graduated from Durham University in 2001 and moved to London to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter. However, her experiences living in Soho, where she chronicled the comings and goings of the people around her, took her life in a different direction. She went on to work as a copywriter and was awarded an MA in Creative Writing.Her debut novel Soho, 4am was published by Quercus in 2013 and was described by the Huffington Post as 'the London Novel revived' and by the Psychogeographic Review as 'a welcome addition to the canon of London novels.' London and the voices of the city continue to provide inspiration for her writing. Her latest novel, Summer Lies Bleeding is out now (Quercus)and has been described by the Irish Examiner as depicting 'a London that is by turns gritty and glorious' and by Virginia Woolf's great-niece, the author Henrietta Garnett, as 'a remarkable translation of (Woolf's) The Years.' Through her novels Nuala has tackled conditions such as bulimia and OCD and hopes, through her writing, to raise awareness of issues that are often hidden from view.
