About the author

Like many authors, Megan Crewe finds writing about herself much more difficult than making things up. A few definite facts: she lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband and son (and does on occasion say "eh"), she tutors children and teens with special needs, and she's spent the last six years studying kung fu, so you should probably be nice to her. She has been making up stories about magic and spirits and other what ifs since before she knew how to write words on paper. These days the stories are just a lot longer.

Megan's first novel, GIVE UP THE GHOST, was shortlisted for the Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic. Her second, THE WAY WE FALL, was nominated for the White Pine Award and made the International Reading Association Young Adults' Choices List. Her Fallen World trilogy (THE WAY WE FALL, THE LIVES WE LOST, THE WORLDS WE MAKE) is now complete and she has a new trilogy forthcoming in October 2014, beginning with EARTH & SKY. Her books have been published in translation in several countries around the world. She has also published short stories in magazines such as On Spec and Brutarian Quarterly.

Reviews

[The Half-blood Reader]

What if you could control the world around you with the stroke of a pen?

Mark has held the power to write words into reality since he was a kid, but he can't change the one thing he most wants to. When his town is attacked by a deadly creature and suspicion turns on him, he discovers innocence and guilt are more tangled than he's ever imagined.

This short story was a pretty good one, the kind of thing I loved to read when in school. I'll let the blurb tell you what it's about, but I'll just say that I think anyone from teenage up, who likes short stories with a bit of gross campfire vibe to them, will love this one!

low rating only because it wasn't my type of read.
