The novel, Hallow Hour, which is the first one to feature in her Surreality series, was written by her in the final year of her high school. Currently, she is working on the development of another book in this exciting series. Caighlan likes to mention that a theme that has interested her always as an author is the development of a deep character. According to her, as she is quite young to be a writer, the character development and growth take place very rapidly. She loves to see it reflecting in her characters. This is the reason why author Caighlan strives to write stories about young adults, aimed at young adults in the age group of her own. Caighlan is of the opinion that a character should not remain stagnant with the progress of a story. It looks very unrealistic and does not have a good effect on other characters. As of now, author Caighlan is busy with a lot of things in her career and hopes that it will bring a lot of success in her writing career.

An initial book written by Caighlan Smith is entitled ‘Hallow Hour’. It was released in 2016. At the start of this novel, it is shown that the world has turned into a forsaken and dark place. The abandoned towns and cities are haunted by dangerous ghosts. Also, the crumbling landscapes are filled Crimson hellcats. Now, it is up to the phantom hunters group to exterminate such murderous creatures in an attempt to keep the remaining inhabitants of the world safe. However, the battle seems to be a constant, and highly perilous one. Young hunters like Kanta and Mid think that they are bringing about a difference with their dedicated efforts. One night, the hunters’ group lands in front of a mysterious family. After some time, they realize that this family holds the secret that could destroy the ghosts forever. This family is comprised of orphans and is headed by Tai, a flamethrower-wielding. They are banished from their own village and do not know where to go. When the hunters approach them, they seem reluctant in the beginning, but then join them eventually. Tai seems to be in a dilemma over the sharing of ghost-killing secret. She fears that it could cause the destruction of her family and her own. But, the hunters assure her that they will not let anything bad happen to them.

Another interesting book that author Caighlan wrote initially is called ‘Children of Icarus’. This book was published in 2016 by the Switch Press. The chief character introduced in this book is Clara. At the beginning of the story, Clara is described as a strong, fearless, and bright girl, who is desperate to make an entry into the labyrinth. Clara is ready to face any challenge to be able to fulfill her wish. Later, Clara gets chosen along with another girl, who has always lived like her shadow. Just after the girls enter, they get separated. Now, both the girls are required to fight for their survival in a new world that is totally different from their city. If they make a single mistake in trusting the wrong person, it would mean a dead end for them. They pray that they become successful in overcoming the obstacles and return to their home safely.
