Noh Fooling This Teacher

About the Book

After signing a contract to teach history to children of the American Occupation Forces in Nagoya, Japan, Miss Meg Lowe traveled out of Missouri for the first time. After arriving by ship in July, 1949, Meg spent time both in adventurous sight-seeing in the exotic land and in socializing with fellow Americans, both singles and couples. Having grown up with a deputy sheriff dad and his sensitive detective work, her background alerted her to nefarious dealings, sometimes happening at her very feet.

About the Author

Margery A. Neely is an alumna of Missouri State University and the University of Missouri. She taught graduate students Kansas State University. Heretofore, she published nonfiction in the form of three textbooks, one trade book, and journal articles, authored or co-authored. Her first fiction book appeared in October, 2014, through Authorhouse. As a teenager, she attended the Nagoya American High School when her father was the civilian safety director for the Fifth Air Force Headquarters. The proposed book, thus, is based a bit on her personal knowledge of the ambiance of Japan, although she saw nothing untoward nor a bomb shelter in 1949. The audience for this manuscript will be people who enjoy adventures and mysteries, as well as those people who have read about, or who remember, the fighting after Pearl Harbor and the postwar period.
