I am pleased to announce that my on-going saga has made the news! The Cape Cod Chronicle’s Debra Lawless has penned a nifty half-page article which appears in this week’s (Nov. 29, 2018) issue! I’m so excited!
I love to pack up my books and send them off into the world. There, I hope they will reach into the minds and hearts of others, and spur their imaginations to experience life in a distant past with all the drama and adventure, and perhaps most surprisingly, find that humans have struggled with many of the same problems throughout the millennia.
“The Dreamer III ~ The People of the Wolves” has been put to bed! It is available only in eBook format for now, but the hardcover and paperback versions have been ordered. Depending on how backed-up the printer is, I should have copies ready to send out in a week or two!

The Dreamer – THE BEGINNING contains a frontispiece featuring the title character, Tris, and 29 sketches of the animals mentioned within the text of the book. These drawings were shrunken so as to fit on the pages and in doing so, much of the detail was lost. For those who would like a larger view of the original pictures, here’s a small sampling:
Today is the official launch date of The Dreamer book series. I chose this day to coincide with my late mother’s birthday in honor of her steadfast support of my writing, and also, in recognition of her wisdom, bravery, and many other fine qualities. Not to mention her great devotion and love of family. She was an inspiration to me during her lifetime and her memory still inspires me to this day.

CHATHAM, Mass. (November 15, 2016) — Independent publisher, Dreamer Literary Productions, LLC and author E. A. Meigs, announce the release of a new book series called The Dreamer. These engaging novels follow the life of a young Neanderthal man, Tris (the Dreamer), his father Tor, and their Cro-Magnon friend and neighbor, Black Wolf. At the time of the Earth’s last Great Glacial Period, Europe was inhabited by at least two peoples: the Neanderthal and the Cro-Magnon. Although this primitive world was filled with a harsh and stunning beauty, it was also a brutally difficult period in mankind’s history. Humans struggled to survive against the dangers posed by an inhospitable climate and their perilous position within nature’s food chain. As the story unfolds, Tris’s dreams figure prominently, but it is really an ongoing adventure that revolves around family, friendship, love, social conflict, and endurance against the odds.
Reader quotes:
“The Dreamer- the Beginning is a captivating tale, giving a convincing and passionate voice to a young man from humankind’s early history. It is well researched and based on scientific study, lending additional credence to a very creative story involving a time in our history that is very much shrouded in mystery and conjecture.” ~ Nancy Bourdeau
“Fascinating saga of the times and life amid a Neanderthal family as seen from the perspective of a man with a special gift and a love of his family. It’s just like being there; you become involved with their trials and joys. The dreams give you a glimpse of future dangers and events, leading you through an engrossing journey.” ~ Carol Beusee
