Merry grew up in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. She was introduced
to Regency romances at a young age
by her mother who had a passion
for Georgette Heyer.
After graduating with a bachelor’s in Communication from the
University of Pennsylvania, Merry worked in fund-raising for a
number of non-profit organizations. When this didn't prove as
fulfilling as she would have hoped, she went back to school for a
master's degree in secondary education where she shared her love of
history with a group inner-city teenagers. Marriage and the birth of
two children interrupted this second attempt at a career.
In order to keep her sanity while raising her children, Merry began
living in a fantasy world filled with dashing, noble heroes and
beautiful heroines. Desperately searching for an excuse to put the
children into daycare, Meredith decided to write down her fantasies
and call it "working".
She was amazed when someone, other than her husband, actually
liked her writing. In 2002, Merry was one of the three winners of the
Royal Ascot Writing Contest and was offered a two book contract
with Kensington Publishers. MISS SETON'S SONATA, Merry’s first
book, was released in January 2004 from Zebra Books. Her second
book, WOOING MISS WHATELY, came out in June, '04. The last
two books of the Merry Men Quartet, LOVE OF MY LIFE and
DAME FORTUNE were published in June and September, 2005.
MISS SETON’S SONATA is the winner of the 2004 Golden Leaf
Contest for best Regency Romance. LOVE OF MY LIFE won second
place in the Write Touch Reader’s Award, 2005. And DAME
FORTUNE was a finalist in the National Reader's Choice Award,
The Beacon Award and the NJ Golden Leaf.
