Merry Brennan

Merry Brennan loves writing, making art and exploring the world. She lives on the Jersey Shore with her husband, three kids and an old lab, Scout, who breaks into the refrigerator when no one's looking. (Last Thanksgiving, he got a whole turkey, but left the dark meat!)
A long-time professional writer and journalist, her work has appeared in dozens of publications since she sold her first piece to Highlights for Children when she was in high school. She is the author of Peace Pilgrim: walking her talk against hate, a biographical novel about an amazing New Jersey woman who walked across the U.S. for 28 years spreading her message of peace. Merry has two other teen/'tween realistic fiction books on the burner.
