Getting to Know Megan Ryder (Contest)

I’ve always loved books and telling stories. One of my earliest memories is my mom reading Charlotte’s Web to me before getting up in the morning, something we would do every day. I graduated quickly to other books including Anne of Green Gables and more, spending almost every day after school at the library while my mom worked. There was never enough romances in those books so I always rewrote the endings with more HEAs (happily-ever-afters), then I found the…

I started writing Star Trek fan fiction when I was a teenager.  I loved the adventure and the personalities. My goal was to be a published author someday.
