| Bio: | Hi! I'm Meg Burden. I write young adult fiction and raise Siamese cats. Sometimes I find myself typing on the cats, but I haven't tried to feed kitty treats to my laptop. (...Yet.) My first YA fantasy novel, NORTHLANDER (Tales of the Borderlands, Book One), was published by Brown Barn Books in October, 2007. Northlander's page at the Brown Barn site is here. NORTHLANDER is now available on Amazon.com HERE. My writing website is at www.megburden.com, and my MySpace page (which I'm still getting the hang of, but feel free to friend me!) is at www.myspace.com/megburden. My current work-in-progress, BAIT, is a YA urban fantasy novel about a teenage girl who goes to New York City in hopes of finding a real-life superhero and becoming a sidekick. Update: BAIT is currently on the back burner while I write the sequel to Northlander. It's finished in draft form and desperately needs a major edit...or twenty. My actual current work-in-progress is the second book in the Tales of the Borderlands series, forthcoming from Brown Barn Books. It's tentatively titled THE KING COMMANDS. About me: I'm twenty-five. Female. Married. Geek. Writer. Fangirl. Addicted to coffee and Diet Coke. Recovered Starbucks mocha addict. (That one's mostly because I live in a town with no stoplights and certainly no coffee shops. Get me to a city, and I fall off the wagon, big time.) I wear blue jeans every day. I prefer chocolate to vanilla, raspberries to strawberries, and don't care for nuts, which is funny since my college mascot was a squirrel. I graduated from college the day before my eighteenth birthday, then took a year off before going to graduate school and worked as a waitress and bartender. My iPod is green. And I probably shouldn't admit this, but my socks rarely match. | |||||
