Lorraine O Byrne

My name is Lorraine O'Byrne, I live in Ireland. I work full-time as a children's writer. My first book was published recently, it's entitled 'The Hippity Dippity Witch'. It's for children of the six to nine age group, an adventure story full of magic and talking animals, a heart warming tale that every child will love.
My interest in writing began when I completed my first creative writing course. I published a book on adult fiction in 2004 but since then turned to writing for children. I love writing for this genre as it enables me to explore my imagination and escape to another world that otherwise adults cannot tap into.
I have a degree in languages, history and sociology and a diploma in frfreelance journalism. When I'm not writing I manage my own farm. I lilike horse riding, reading thrillers, travelling and going to the movies.
