I was at the RT Convention in Chicago last week and had SUCH a good time. You should have been there! Books and readers and authors everywhere! It's like book nirvana!
I was lucky enough to take part in a very cool workshop with the delightful Ann Voss Peterson and Molly O'Keefe. It was so much fun! We were each given 15 minutes to discuss writing big character, plot, or emotion in small books--... read more »

| I was assigned this book in college. I got to the chapter that was one sentence: "My mother is a fish." Then I threw the book across my dorm room, watched it fall to the ground with a thud that was far more satisfying than the book had been up to tha...more | |

| My favorite Wharton novel. The snow and the frustrated longing and the dark, cold nights. I've never seen New England quite the same way since. | |

| I thought this book was hilarious. And delightful. I was once an aimless English lit graduate, wafting about my early twenties in search of a life and desperately hoping that one of the great novels I'd studied in school would suddenly appear before...more | |

| I can't tell you how much I didn't want to read this book for my Book Club. It looked like pretty much nothing I'd ever enjoy. So, of course, I was absolutely riveted from page one. I couldn't put it down! It made me miss my grandfather. And cry. And...more | |
“I think the important thing to remember is that all relationships benefit from a bit of breathing room. Especially friendships. It's only when you find yourself without the women who understand you that you realize there are very few women who will.”
― Megan Crane, Frenemies
― Megan Crane, Frenemies
“The truth was that I'd been spending years running away from myself. I hid myself in drama, silliness, stupidity, banality. So afraid to grow up. So afraid to involve myself in relationships where I might be expected to give the same love I got - instead of sixth-grade shenanigans. I bored myself with all the when I grow up nonsense, but I was worried it would never happen even as I longed for it.”
― Megan Crane, Frenemies

“I had a rule about stilettos, and it was this: I didn't wear them unless I planned to kick ass in them. Stilettos were for striding and sauntering, never sulking.”

Megan,I went to an Alumni Book Club group last night and met a guy (Tom) who said he had read your English as a Second Language book and convinced his other book club to read some of your work! It was really cool to randomly meet another Megan Crane fan at an English Department alumni group! :)
Happy writing,
Charity
Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of NightHas flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light.
2
Dreaming when Dawn's Left Hand was in the Sky
I heard a Voice within the Tavern cry,
"Awake, my Little ones, and fill the Cup
"Before Life's Liquor in its Cup be dry."
3
And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before
The Tavern shouted--"Open then the Door!
"You know how little while we have to stay,
"And, once departed, may return no more."
4
Now the New Year reviving old Desires,
The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires,
Where the WHITE HAND OF MOSES on the Bough
Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires.
*****
5
Iram indeed is gone with all its Rose,
And Jamshyd's Sev'n-ring'd Cup where no one knows;
But still the Vine her ancient Ruby yields,
And still a Garden by the Water blows.
6
And David's Lips are lock't; but in divine
High piping Pehlevi, with "Wine! Wine! Wine!
"Red Wine!"---the Nightingale cries to the Rose
That yellow Cheek of hers to incarnadine.
7
Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly---and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing.
Hi, I'm very happy to meet you and look forward to discussing books with you. If you ever have any questions about any of the titles on my shelves, please ask away. I'll be happy to answer them.
