Mari Meehan

After a career of writing press releases as a public relations professional and post career blogging, Mari Meehan decided to try her hand at fiction. Something fun for a change. So, in her late 70s, she put on paper the story about a dog, a story that had been roiling around in her head for years. Friends who were successful writers suggested it would make a wonderful childrens story thus Slobbers, the Saint Bernard, was born.

The story of the dog displays all the traits that endeared the breed to Mari, who raised four of them over the years, plus a down to earth dose of the values that were in place when she was growing up in suburban Pittsburgh, PA. Her hopes are that those values and the nobility of the breed will strike a chord with all who read it - the young and the young at heart. It has kids, dogs, family, good guys, bad guys, mystery and adventure all wrapped into one wildly imaginative tale!
