Olive O\u2019Brien is a\u00a0children\u2019s writer, book publisher, journalist, ex-lawyer, film fan, avid reader and general wanderer, among other things.<\/p>\n
In June 2006, I quit my job as a solicitor to return to full-time studies. I went on to finish a Masters in Journalism and I worked as an intern at The Sunday Business Post in Dublin, Ireland. In 2007, the travel bug hit big time and I lived in Bangalore, India, while I worked as a features writer at a newspaper.<\/p>\n
The following year, I set out on a round the world trip, which was such an amazing experience. On my return to Ireland at the end of 2008, I decided to write a children\u2019s book and I set up my own publishing company, Silver Angel Publishing. My first book \u201cPerry the Playful Polar Bear\u201d was released in 2009 and my\u00a0second and third\u00a0books \u201cPerry the Polar Bear Goes Green\u201d and “Eco Zico” were released in 2010.
