About

Louise Jane Byrne lives in Georgetown, Texas with her husband, two children, the best dog in the world and a lovely cat !!

How did I end up in Texas? Long story……but I grew up in Virginia, went to college in Georgia and then went to live in California. In 2019, I moved to Georgetown, Texas with my family. All these places are really amazing areas in our country and I encourage anyone and everyone to explore the United States. It’s so big! Purple mountain majesties from sea to shining sea ——- it’s all true!

Besides writing, I like doing outdoorsy stuff, I love animals, I enjoy cooking (and eating!) and I continue to design everyday! Even if it’s just my dream house…..little sketches and ideas.

One of my best life experiences happened when I was very young. It was St. Patrick’s Day and my father had a tradition of hiding candies that my brother and I would find when we woke up.

This year he’d gone all out and run green crepe paper streamers from our bedroom doors, all over the house and into the candy bowls. He also disguised his voice as a leprechaun, and recorded it the night before. The idea was my brother and I would wake up and hear the “leprechaun” and follow the voice and streamers to the candy! Pretty fun, right?

Well, I woke up early. Before I even heard the recording, I saw in my mirror —- which was across from my bed —- the tip of a green, pointy hat. I remember closing my eyes and when I looked again, it was gone.

Who cares about candy, when you have a real live leprechaun in your rooml! I went right to my parents and woke them up, demanding an explanation.

To this day, no one admits to playing a trick on me. My brother was still too small to have done it and my parents really were asleep that morning.

So, there you have it. I have seen a leprechauns hat. They exist. Your welcome.
