Meaghan E. Ward is an author and freelance illustustor with a strange fascination for emotionally traumatized characters, connecting fantasy worlds, and blue magic. When she’s not writing, she’s reading. When she’s not reading, she’s creating pictures worth a thousand words. She lives in the mountains of Colorado where she haunts the local library and daydreams of what would happen if she stumbled into a fantasy world. She also enjoys in-season portal hunting.
