edit data

Megan has been writing since she was a child. Her dream of being a published author has never faded despite the struggles of life. After taking a few years away from the keyboard she is back. Megan now works as a LMT, with three kids and a houseful of pets. She could not do anything without her amazing support system, mainly her best friend and partner in crime.
Megan enjoys writing Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, with little limitation on the Sub-genres she will stretch into. Writing as a passion hobby is now what she does to fill the time between work, family, and hiking the Nevada desert. She finds inspiration in everyday life, art, and most of all her crazy vivid dreams.
