About Isa Byrne

This is the second draft of the original author bio.  The Lovely Miss Lily of Ten Seconds a Day had some very useful comments which I've incorporated.  I still love feedback, let me know what you think.

Isa Byrne

Isa Byrne grew up in a succession of small country towns in Australia, where she was usually unhappy. Mostly she was found with her head in a book, a pen in her hand, and a flirtation with Tarot readings, which served to get her through her teenage years only lightly damaged.

Eventually, Ms Byrne escaped to the big city where she graduated with a degree in Mining Engineering. Ms Byrne treasured working underground but gave up the prospect of being dirty all of the time for love and the chance to live in the big city.

She’s been happily employed in the IT industry ever since, where she discovered a knack for teaching people how to use their computers without making them feel foolish.

The love thing worked out and she’s been married for eleven years (to the same man) and shares one house and one small person with him.

“Miss Lyon and the The Mystery of the Jade Mask” is her first book and, as she thinks Miss Lyon hasn’t suffered enough, she is working on a second in which she will torture her characters further.
