Meagan Myhren-Bennett
Meagan's love of words began at an early age - starting with bedtime stories read nightly. Her first foray into the printed word was a collection of poems and stories, which was limited to a one-copy printing when she was eight years old. Unfortunately, this rare single copy was lost in a cross-country move.
When not creating word magic, Meagan spends her working hours among the stacks of her local library, where she has been happily employed for several years.
This Northern Californian native who now calls Wisconsin home, after brief excursions to Florida and Illinois, shares her home with a small herd of Dachshunds.

Arabella's Song Snippet
I wanted to get closer. I wanted to see the player's face. I needed to see his face. The bank was at least twenty feet from where I stood and I was unsure of the river's depth. The moonlight playing across its surface gave nothing away. I wanted to get the player's attention, but I didn't want to interrupt the song. I drew as close to the water's edge as I could, but I needed to be closer. I stepped into the river and was shocked by the cold. I was barefoot. Why am I barefoot? I looked down at my feet only to notice that I was dressed in my nightgown without even a robe to protect me from the cold night air. How did I get here? And why hadn't I changed into more suitable clothing? The confusion was overwhelming, and I felt a sense of disorientation that I couldn't shake off.
