Cara Finegan

I am an LGBTQ+ writer hailing from Newry in Northern Ireland, right on the border. I graduated with a B.Ed Hons degree in English and Drama in 1995 and have been a Primary School teacher ever since. I am also very lucky to teach and perform Burlesque with my dance troupe, The Scarlet Belles. I have written stories and poems from a young age and try to use my many travel experiences as a back drop for some of my writing whenever possible. I am in the process of writing my fifth domestic noir novel. In 2023 I was fortunate enough to have my novel 'DON'T CALL ME BABY' shortlisted for the Novel London Prize.
I try to surround myself with as many wonderfully wicked women as is humanly possible. These women manage to keep me sane.
