A yearning for creative expression, a desire to explore the deeper questions of life, and a longing to share my unique perspective with the world led me to embark on a new adventure – writing.
My upcoming memoir is the culmination of that journey. It's a raw and honest account of my struggl

As a child – the daughter of an RAF officer, and uprooted every few years – the place I called home and hearth was my grandparents’ village in South Wales, which inspired the lane, the hill and the churchyard featured in The Seventh Room. Night-swimming from a row-boat off Corfu, and standing in the magical realism of the Scottish mountain winds are also biographical.

Chelsea O'Hara
Chelsea O’Hara writes psychological thrillers grounded in real life — inspired by experiments, human behaviour, and the darkness we try not to see. She’s fascinated by the fragility of memory, the strangeness of isolation, and the way ordinary people fracture under extraordinary pressure.

Her stories mix unsettling psychology with sharp, human edges — a little horror, a little heartbreak, and just enough dark humour to keep the lights on. She likes to say she writes about the things people prefer to ignore — the whispers in the walls, the truths we bury, and the shadows we pretend not to see.
Why did she start writing? She couldn’t tell you. Maybe to make sense of the chaos, maybe to lean into it. She’s always been fascinated by the human min -
