"We're All Stories In the End. Just Make It A Good One." - The Doctor B. M. "Meg" Polier started writing soon after she learned how to read at the age of 4. Once she realized that the amazing stories that she was reading could also be created by stringing her own series of words together, she never stopped creating. In high school, her stories began to coalesce into publish worthy stories until her first complete work, Call of Descent, was brought into existence. After feeling the elation of completion, the sudden realization that her story was complete left her wondering if she had any more stories to tell. It wasn't long before she realized that her mind was teaming with stories and she started working on the sequel to Call of Descent, Spirit Unbreakable.
In 2008 she entered into the 3-Day Novel Writing Contest and completed her entry, Dyllys. While still working on the sequel to Call of Descent, she was inspired to write, After Image, as a "what if" scenario of a possible outcome had she taken the numerous rejection letters to heart and gave up on her dream to be a published author.
She currently resides with her cats, Maeko and Cake, in Kamloops, B.C., avidly writing when she is not working as a Library Technician.
Aside from writing, Meg also enjoys hand-binding books, steampunk, anime, video gaming and cosplay. She is also on the Autism Spectrum.
Well I can't exactly give it a bad rating, I did write it after all.
This books is really electrified, for me, with all sorts of emotion. I wrote it in 2008 on the August long weekend for the 31st Annual 3-Day Novel Writing Contest, which was the most exhilarating and wonderful experience of my life. To date, of all the books I have written, Parris continues to be my favorite creation!
I think what I like most about this book is how much it surprised me while I was writing it. The characters evolved in ways I never thought possible and grew into their own, even better than some of my longer novels' heroes and heroines, it also has a longing and a love that I didn't know I had in me to write.
Condensing the writing of a novel into a 3 day period was the most potent thing I have ever experienced and I hope it created a wonderful read for everyone who peruses through it.
