(For maximum tonal whiplash, please stream "This Is Home" by Cavetown while looking at my silly little memes.)
"Megan stop talking about The First Law trilogy, literally nobody that follows you has read it or wants to read it" NEVER!!!! I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THESE BOOKS!! Also I'm on The Age of Madness trilogy now, so technically it's different 😌
Realizing that my sensibilities when writing romance are, of all the writers I've read, most closely aligned with Joe Abercrombie. Which is...something. And probably a bad sign for whenever I try to put romance in a YA book.
Joe, grimdark adult fantasy author: Every time I write a kiss it's gonna be short, awkward, full of weird emotional hangups, and also kinda uncomfortable and gross.
Me, aro and stupid: Right. Like all kisses.
When Neera Lovehart—princess turned monster hunter—returns to the palace for her brother before he heads into Fate’s deadly game, she doesn’t expect to take his spot in the competition where there’s only one rule—steal the heir's heart and win the throne. #editors#KidLitPit
When a marriage proposal sends young witch Daphne running to the woods, she finds a cursed manor stuck in time. The only person aware of her is the manor's prince. To break the curse, they must come to terms with their feelings—or lack of—for the other.

Ahh how fun!!
My most recent song is Crave You by Flight Facilities (feat. Giselle)! I wouldn't quite call it a villain song, but it definitely encapsulates the romantic yearning that acts as an antagonistic force in Home Among the Thorns
With the recent TS drop, song inspo is on the brain! 🎧 #WritingCommunity, what’s the latest song you’ve added to the soundtrack to your manuscript?
Mine is Eyes Closed by Imagine Dragons: perfect for the epic, in-the-dark heist/prank by my mischievous teen ensemble cast😎
Hi. Under this, we'll be adding trusted evacuation fundraisers. The situation on the ground is much more dire than you think, please share/donate.
Note: do Not mention anything related to Palestine/Gaza in donation notes, not even emojis as it freezes accounts/delays process.
It's so crazy seeing agents posting when they're opening for queries again and every time going like "Oh shit I gotta add them to my spreadshe— wait no"

@RosieeThor Revealed to my bestie the prince that I'd been blackmailed into spying on him right before the pandemic canceled all our sessions........ I felt like I was dying for like a full year
