William Meehan . . . author, musician, hockey coach?

Yes, a hockey coach.Best known for his children's novel, Amulets of Acacia, as well as his upright-bass playing for the Gallant Sons of Erin, William Meehan is also the head coach of the Walpole High School Rebel hockey team.

Amulets of Acacia is fast becoming a word-of-mouth must read. Cult-like fans across the country are clamoring for the sequel. "It's in the works," Meehan replies, but the sequel will be held under wraps allowing time for Amulets to build upon its undergroung momentum.
