About Me

ABOUT my chosen Pen Name

Meggie Kleary hails from my birth naming after the resilient protagonist, Meggie Cleary, in ‘The Thorn Birds.’

My mother’s favorite book.

Our parallels are many~

The only daughter in a family of sons

Characterized by her wild chestnut hair

Endurance of a difficult life, she embodies strength, stubbornness, and deep maternal love despite facing profound loneliness and heartbreak.

Evolving from a naïve, neglected child into a headstrong, somewhat manipulative adult, determined to find meaning through love and her connection to the land. <3
