- Arnold J. Meagher grew up in Ireland’s heartland and emigrated to the U.S, in 1957 when he was in his early twenties. He got a Ph.D. in Latin American History from the University of California, Davis campus, had a short stint of teaching history at the University of Houston, Clearlake campus, and since then has earned a living working in communications and technical and proposal writing for the business world. He has authored three books: The Coolie Trade: The Traffic in Chinese Laborers to Latin America, 1847-1874; Ireland, My Ireland: Memories from the Heartland, which has an audio version read by the author; and Courtship at Publix: A Muslim-Christian Encounter (a quick-read short novel). He lives with his wife, Jackie Devlin, in Eufaula, Alabama and Orlando, Florida, where he has a full time job.
