PoetryBowed As If Laden With Snow, my first full-length poetry collection, was published in May of 2023 by Cornerstone Press. The poems in Bowed were written between August of 2008 and December of 2021. They peels back the layers of climate change, divorce, and their similarities, all while pointing the way toward healing and robust hope that inspires life- and love-affirming heart postures. You can find this work in my website's store or through Cornerstone Press (scroll down to my name and follow the ordering instructions).

She believes that freedom of expression is necessary for a society that is not only safe but flourishing for all. As a human who has gone through more than one phoenix-level transformations, she will spend a lifetime turning those ashes into verse, story, essay, but most of all flashlight for her readers and those she works with in her coaching practices.

She pursues relatable instances of big ideas affecting our world in her journalistic nonfiction and gets real about disability, money, politics, and faith in her personal essays. And she helps her readers feel seen in her poems, short stories, poetry chapbook Long Division (Finishing Line Press, 2017) and upcoming full-length collection with Cornerstone Press.you can find a cache of her work on Yes!

Working with Megan felt like freedom...She made sure I was expressing myself clearly to the world, but I didn't have to labor over that when I wrote, she had my back there.
