My Story
Welcome and thank you for coming to my website.
My name is Dan Michael Meehan. I am a newly published writer.
These being the first of my books that I am prepared to put out there.
I came to write professionally late in life, 66 to be precise.
I have been married to my wife Ngaire for just on 42 years. Both us have similar backgrounds in that we grew up in post-war fibro houses, both of our fathers were tradesmen and our mothers were stay home mums.
The last of the so-called Baby Boomers, our growing up place was the steel and coal city of Wollongong where we have lived in the southern suburb of Port Kembla for 22 years. It is here where we have mostly raised our 3 children and are blessed they are all happy, well and have all made successful lives for themselves. We love our children dearly. In 2019, both of our daughters will marry men who we deeply admire.
My books are fact based historical novels, weaving family history into the events of Australian doings.
I try and bring what was, to what is. I use humour to lighten the load, as well as sadness to balance out what was.
I hope that you enjoy my style of writing. It is not for everyone as I left school at 15 and as such, I write like I speak.
People say I am a good story teller and that my words flow easy. I hope that you agree and might travel along with me.
Your feedback on any of my stories is most welcome to.
Welcome to my world.
Kind regards
Dan
TESTIMONIAL
Dan, you write well. Your story is easy to follow and I really enjoyed The Power of The Stones. I look forward to the next books in the series.
