The youngest of five children, Meghan Dwyer is of Irish descent. Her love of writing and reading is a passion cultivated by her heritage- the Irish make good storytellers! Because of this, she comes from a family of accomplished writers, several of whom are published. Encouraged by a college professor, Meghan sat down one night long ago and began writing about her day. A single parent at the time with a two-year-old son, she soon found she easily filled the pages of her notebook with anecdotes and reflections. Her professor laughed and cried at her stories and encouraged her to continue to keep her journal. Years later, with three additional children, she found she had even more to write about. Putting down the pen and taking up the keyboard, she started a personal blog, A Message of Mean from Meghan and Confessions of a Bad Mom, as a way to process her thoughts about parenting, society, and life in general. The Ellington Manor Series is a three-book publication, inspired by the love of her life and her affinity for Cape Cod. In her spare time, of which she has little, Meghan enjoys gardening, drinking wine and spending time with her friends and family.
