“Many of the good stories and tips in my
books come from my readers and fans.
I want to be a conduit for sharing ideas to
make families happy.”
Marlene Byrne
Marlene Byrne is a passionate writer whose work spans children’s literature, novels, and lifestyle books—all rooted in personal experience and meaningful transitions.
​
She began her writing journey with Project Play Books, a charming series of five children’s books celebrating backyard games and imaginative play. As her storytelling evolved, Marlene turned to adult fiction, authoring novels inspired by real-life resilience and hope, including "Music Has Legs" and "Do Not Discard."
​
“I write about experiences in my life and things I know,” Marlene says.
That philosophy now drives her Life Point Books series, which reflects her own life’s journey through stories, tips, and traditions.
​
Her latest release, "Empty Nesting," combines lifestyle inspiration with a heartfelt cookbook for parents navigating the emotional transition of their children leaving home. Written during a period of transition in her own family, the book offers comforting guidance and encouragement for this new chapter.
The series launched with "Welcome Home," a thoughtful guide for new homeowners, designed to ease the stress of change and help people feel grounded during uncertain times.
​
Drawing on her experiences as a working mother, devoted spouse, and now an empty nester, Marlene’s writing offers relatable and practical insights into life's many phases. Her books are filled with simple joys—timeless recipes, cherished family traditions, and everyday inspiration—meant to help readers embrace change and celebrate home, in all its forms.
