Paula is the author of three novels

Six Weeks by the Sea is her hugely-acclaimed new historical romance: an imagining of the summer when Jane Austen fell in love …

“No one is better qualified than Byrne to imagine and expand upon Austen’s true romance. Her treasure chest of Austen knowledge and her ability to spiritually inhabit historical figures are displayed to fine advantage.”

 (Washington Post)

LISTEN HERE TO PAULA TALKING ABOUT SIX WEEKS BY THE SEA ON RADIO 4 WOMAN’S HOUR

with presenter Kylie Pentelow, who said “When I was reading it, I felt like I was reading Jane Austen”

Blonde Venus turns the life of Marlene Dietrich into historical fiction - “wonderful … David Niven’s classic movie memoir The Moon’s A Balloon meets Game of Thrones … a whirl of banquets, massive jewels, backstabbings and death … a delicious free-flowing human adventure … eye-poppingly funny and thought-provoking” (The Times)

Her debut fiction, Look to Your Wife is a comedy with a twist: the story of how a young woman is led astray by the allure of social media - “a zingy, fast-moving novel - very readable, elegantly written and crafted” (The Times)
