Olive O Brien

I'm a children's writer and freelance journalist and I live in Cork, Ireland. I previously practised as a lawyer and a few years ago, I changed career path. I returned to university to complete a Masters in Journalism, at DublinCityUniversity. Since then, I has worked at The Sunday Business Post, Dublin, Ireland and travelled around the world, during which time, I worked at Mid-Day newspaper, Bangalore, India. This year I set up my own publishing company, Silver Angel Publishing. Perry the Playful Polar Bear is my first foray into writing for children. Copies may be purchased at www.oliveobrien.com
