I’m Meg. I’ve enjoyed drawing, writing, and assembling books since the age when I could barely write my own name. I live in the mountains of Montana. In my spare time, I read, write, and illustrate fantasy and poetry, mostly centered on a huge project I call my “I want to be William Blake when I grow up” project. Favorite authors include C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, Diana Wynne Jones, Kafka, Melville, Dickinson, and many others. My poetry has appeared in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly and The Mythic Circle, and I’ve done a bit of self-publishing too!
