My first offering in the series, THE RUNAWAY QUEEN, is NOW OUT.
It has everything a story really requires: Revolutionary Paris, a hot air balloon, great clothes, huge wigs,...
“Women read comics. Anyone at all engaged in social media knows this. Women read...”

If I was a famous author I would publish a book with ten different endings which all went to print with varying degrees of rarity, but not tell the fans about it so that I could watch their confusion as they disagree over how the story ended.

You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend. But then, then comes the fateful moment where you find out that all...

Have you seen the director’s cut? So much better than the theatrical cut, with loads of extra plot and character development. Sort of like that horrible Daredevil film.

Semi annual urge to make Grad Vulcan less of a hot mess/ write entire self indulgent novel about Vulcan OC. JUST RESIST, MEG. JUST RESIST.
