Poofed Away on Shamrock's Day - Softcover

Charlene Hoyt began writing while she and her husband were managing a busy household of six children. She credits many of her ideas to those experiences. Her inspiration for Irish stories about leprechauns and elves came when a teacher asked her to read a story to her kindergarten class celebrating St. Patrick's Day. As she began searching for a book she liked, it suddenly occurred to her that she could write her own. Taking from her Irish heritage and her love of writing, Charlene soon discovered it to be fun, a challenge, and a perfect fit. From that day on she was intrigued by leprechaun stories and just kept writing them. She has written many short stories for children's periodicals. Poofed Away on Shamrock's Day is her second book to be published. She lives in Southeastern Wisconsin with her husband Roy and her Golden Retriever, Clancy.
