ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Meeka O’Brien Meeka was born in South Africa during the turmoil of the apartheid era. Even at a young age she instinctively knew that she wanted to be a healer. She wanted to take away hurt and soothe troubled souls. Only today she truly appreciate the enormous role her parents played in the long journey she undertook to achieve her goals. Meeka is blessed with two wonderful sons. ‘We always think that we are supposed to teach our children. Yet, I have learned more from them than they will ever know’ she told us. How true that is for most of us parents, if we are honest with ourselves that is. The Author immigrated to New Zealand with her family, where she met the love and light of her life. She shares with him such true happiness and deep love, and their solid and loving relationship continues to leave her breathless. Meeka is a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Spiritual Healer, Karuna Reiki Master and Herbalist. However, her biggest passion has always been writing. She loves the way ideas and thoughts can be transformed into words than can change and influence people’s lives. We believe this story would offer a visual feast transformed into a film. She is no different to anyone else though. Her life has had its fair share of highs, lows and regrets. What those events are is not important. What is important is that everything that happened was the perfect experience for her. It helped Meeka be the person she is today. If she can make a difference in just one person’s life than her dreams have come true. We believe Meeka’s influence and trying to make that positive difference in other people’s lives through her writing, will prove multifold.

Why the Author wrote this book
Meeka O’Brien wrote this book because she feels that finding direction in the technically orientated and fast living world we live in is a challenge. She aimed to awaken the possibility that everything taught to us by our parents and elders has value, but is not always correct.
There are lots of romance, detective and travel books on the market. However there are curious readers that enjoy reading books that don’t fall in that category. A book with a great story and information on how to change yourself, and ultimately the world, always has a place.
We agree that “Nothing Remains the Same” offers such a message and provides an exemplary journey noteworthy to honor such a claim. Though the era of the novel is not modern day it is of great cultural interest and incredibly thought provoking and at times heart-rending. It focuses on the lives of the twin brothers and the people close to them. Superstition, conflict and regret, creates exciting as well as devastating events in all of their lives. The subject is the same as the name of the book. “Nothing remains the same.”
So, as with our own lives things are constantly changing for the characters in the book also. It leaves them with more questions than answers and they learn that the only way to solve it is by looking inside themselves. Only we can make the changes not only in our own lives, but set an example for all those we come in contact with that making personal changes can be achieved. No matter where we come from, or who we are now.
