My Merrymorphosis - It’s funny having a name like “Merry” because sometimes I’m not – even when I always am. And it’s the not times that finally made me an author. You see, when I was six, I imagined a grown-up life writing books for children and teens. I made up tons of stories and won several “creative kid” awards. Before I was out of high school I even had my first sale to Highlights for Children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6008a405baecc769508f00bf/1613943407030-ZOMBQKAXHLKPW7KKT5FC/Merrymorphosis_1_WEB.jpg Ponderings - My Merrymorphosis - Merry Brennan hiking White Mountain, 20192015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6008a405baecc769508f00bf/1613953070517-0WZCNMHYRM5ST0M9KL6I/5GrandCanyonKids_WEB.jpg Ponderings - My Merrymorphosis - Merry Brennan and her kids at Grand Canyon National Park, 2008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6008a405baecc769508f00bf/1613952934375-7FHKA3KBQ4E0XY82T4NE/MerryHiking_Shenandoah2015_WEB.jpg Ponderings - My Merrymorphosis - Merry Brennan winter hiking High Point, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6008a405baecc769508f00bf/1613953414714-Y3YX67GFKF88Q920VA6H/MtRushmoreFamily_web.jpg Ponderings - My Merrymorphosis - Merry Brennan and her family at Mt.

wants a quick-take: As a kid, Merry Brennan dreamed of a grown-up life writing books and making art. She got sidetracked a bit – as an environmental/health journalist, activist, columnist, naturalist, communications consultant, adjunct professor, and elected official. Now, she weaves all those roots into her daily living and couldn’t be Merrier! She loves to explore the world through words, images, and joyful footsteps. In her writing, art, ceremonies and workshops, she invites others to savor nature, embrace inner peace, and compassionately care for each other on this gem we all call home. Her latest book, Mystery Scars, is a contemporary young adult novel offering hope and healing for those affected by today’s epidemic of teen anxiety, depression, and suicide. Her info-packed travel memoir, Eye Rolls and Awe: A National Park Road Trip with Teens, offers a front-row seat to the treasures of family and nature, and her middle-grade historical novel, Peace Pilgrim: Walking Her Talk Against Hate, introduces readers to the remarkable woman who walked across the U.S. for 28 years with only the clothes on her back to spread a message of peace. Merry’s photographic and digital creations (www.EarthwaysArt.com) have been featured in many shows, shops, and publications. She’s also created a growing collection of “Photoplay” - a flavoring of words on images. The long-time Jersey Shore resident is always up for a good hike, sail or paddle; never turns down time with family; and looks forward to full moon meditations. She and her musician husband, Tom, have three terrific children, Ciarán, Aislínn and Seán. If you’d like more of a personal peek, take look at my blog post: My Merrymorphosis https://www.merrybrennan.com/mystery-scars daily 0.75 2025-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6008a405baecc769508f00bf/bd5b5a1d-0882-42c5-8a44-f93f32900d32/Mystery+ScarsECover_LR.jpg Mystery Scars: a Story of Love and Healing - When Hurt Happens, Can We Forgive Others — and Ourselves? A week ago, Jewel Jacob’s biggest worry was making it into the high-stakes Teen Arts Fest. Now, all the winning paintings lie in tatters while she lies in a hospital bed, her arms throbbing and absolutely no recollection of trying to kill herself. When a caring therapist helps her unearth buried memories, she must maneuver between her old life as a smart, talented, “normal” freshman and her new reality of whispers, stares, and a misfit support group with other kids who attempted to end their lives. In a journey far deeper than the scars on her wrists, Jewel finds that friendship, love, and quirky humor can bring you back from the darkest places. “Mystery Scars is a compelling young adult novel that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Through heart-wrenching twists and turns, it explores the power of resilience, the importance of [teen] mental health, and the beauty of finding hope in unexpected places. Merry Brennan brings compassion and empathy to a complex subject. I cannot recommend her work highly enough.” Midwest Book Review Available as paperback, ebook, audiobook.
