About Megan
I am a follower of Christ, living in south central Virginia with my patient, beloved engineer husband and our five lively boys in a house full of books (but never enough shelves). I love tea, lattes, while I read, write, or knit.
I mostly write about books for Redeemed Reader, but Literaritea Press is the way I have chosen to publish my first picture book, Something Better Coming.
I would love to meet you! Drop me a note.
