Hello, I'm Penny, a freelance author and journalist inspired by the people
and the beauty of the Island of Jersey where I live and work.
Come on in and find out more about me and the projects I've been working on or get in touch at penny@pennybyrneauthor.com


OUR LATEST BOOK...
Rainbow Flo
Flo is a happy child. Happy about everything… except food.
She doesn’t like anything when it comes to her dinner.
Until her big sister Madeleine comes up with a stupendous idea.
Can Flo really eat a rainbow?  And what will happen when she does?

About Me

 I spend a lot of my time down on the beach hunting sea glass and throwing a ball for my endlessly energetic Collie-cross Cassie. I find my best ideas come when I am least expecting them. My children love it when they say or do something that gives me a eureka moment - until I get so absorbed I forget to make them tea (again).

I run of a number of children’s events including poetry and writing workshops, book readings and working with schools as part of their literacy curriculum.
My Events and Workshops

"It is just completely brilliant from the great illustrations (by so many!!), the fabulous story line and rhyming, absolutely all of the content making Jersey come alive and much, much more. It feels like it'll be my favourite book of all time and will undoubtedly be included in all future REAL training. The session on books will not be the same again!” Dr Cathy Hamer


"A fun, beautifully told tale that celebrates Jersey and instils in young readers’ minds what great things can be achieved when we all work together.”  Deborah McMillan, Children’s Commissioner for Jersey


“I started reading Inspiring Women of Jersey with my morning coffee and I just couldn’t put it down until I had read it all.” Local Jersey Resident


“Its the best book ever! I love how it's all about nature because that's my favourite thing, and it's got loads of really good words that's I'm probably going to use in books that I'm writing.“ Amy - a young reader in praise of The Silent Garden
