Fortunately she grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, where few people were aware of the stigma of being a fire horse -- at least until Meg became a teenager, when she flunked freshman Algebra twice, then decided to cut her own bangs.

A Simple Thank You

Ever since my heart surgery last year, I’ve been trying to be more mindful about expressing my gratitude for all the things I love and nearly lost: my heart, my health, my life, my family, my friends, and so much more.

That’s why I want to take this opportunity to tell you how grateful I am for all of YOU. Your support these past few years (going back decades for some of you!) means more to me than

mj I just finished Royal Wedding and absolutely loved it! I'm not ready to let go of Mia yet. Will you be writing anymore books related to the Princess Diaries series?

(I'm so glad Remembrance is available. I'm still reeling from finishing Royal Wedding)


Shayla Hi Meg!! Thank you so much for accepting my friend request! :) The Princess Diaries really started my love for reading so thank you so much for writing them!! Mia is my spirit animal!


message 38: by Cat

Cat SamLos Hi Meg! I guess I'm a late bloomer when it comes to your books but I'm almost done with all of your collections.. I'm currently reading the Mediator Series. I love it though I don't know why you stopped calling the three stepbrothers Snow White nicknames in the last two books. I really find it funny every time Suze would accidentally call David - Doc or Jake - Sleepy. Anyway, I'm halfway with Twilight and I have to stop because I don't want it to end. Should have read it more slowly I guess. More power!
