RodMebane

Rod Mebane currently works as a writer, editor, and independent publisher and lives with his wife Donna in Geneva, Illinois, a far-west suburb of Chicago. Rod began to apply his publication skills to the world of grief & loss after the death of his daughter Emma in 2011 at the age of 19. Curiosity about what other families do to honor their departed children led Rod to conduct an original survey, and his analysis resulted in the highly regarded book, Tributes to Lost Children (2016). Rod was also instrumental in publication of the 5-star, award-winning novel written by his wife called, Tomorrow Comes: An Emma Story (2014). Rod holds a bachelor’s degree from Swarthmore College and a master’s degree in communication from the University of Pennsylvania.
