Margaret was always a bookworm, reading widely from newspapers and political magazines to all manner of fiction. This lead to a degree majoring in creative writing, journalism and history. Eventually she went on to be a general assignment reporter, which meant she might be covering a fire one day, a scientific breakthrough the next and a politician's news conference the next. As if those days weren't packed and exciting enough, her evenings were filled with writing fictional stories. After much effort and many rejection letters, Margaret got published. And she continues to write exciting children's fiction today.
Margaret has a husband, Doug and two teenage children, Meredith and Connor. They live in Columbus, Ohio.
