Maureen Kellar-Kirby is a wife, mother and grandmother living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Although she is semi-retired now, her many talents are still being used in her work as an Early Childhood Education teacher, musician, songwriter, movie-script writer and astrologer. She has a special interest in the investigation of reincarnation and the paranormal and, for several years, also worked as a consulting astrologer and psychic. She continues to prepare astrology charts and counsel clients upon request.
Maureen Kellar-Kirby is the author of two books. "Go Back Jack" (2018) is a true story search in 1973 for a past life as a black, American blues musician who lived during the Great Depression, "rode the rods" and died tragically before realizing his musical dreams. "The Leprechaun Who Was Not a Mouse" (2021) is a children's picture book dedicated to the many children she has worked with and cared for since 1984 in her career as an Early Childhood Educator in Canada. This charming story about a leprechaun who was mistaken for a mouse also tells us about the enduring friendship between the leprechaun and a little boy.
