Megan Denese Mealor

I currently reside in my graffiti-hearted hometown of Jacksonville, Florida with my husband of 12 years and our 10-year-old son, who was diagnosed with autism at age three. I myself have suffered from bipolar disorder most of my life, so mental health is an incredibly important topic for me and is reflected and interwoven into much of my work. While writing is and always has been my life's greatest passion as well as my saving grace, my most important achievement is my beautiful, angel-hearted son. I adore animals and run my own business, Krazy Kat Lady Pet-Sitting, while being the proud mother of three mollycoddled rescue cats Trigger, Lulu, and Hobbes. I am currently learning Spanish and American Sign Language because I love words and communication and locution. In order to better myself, I'm also taking women's self-defense classes, experimenting with photography, planting rose bushes and wax begonias, re-reading the perennial classics (the Brontes, Jane Austen, ee cummings, Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe), and volunteering hours and lovely hours at a local animal shelter. My son is my very best friend, and we do absolutely everything together, from pointing out manatees at Mandarin Park's dock to laying on the rushing sand at Vilano Beach to checking out the way-too-realistic dinosaur exhibit at MOSH. As a quintessential Pisces, my dreamy nature has fortunately translated into a dreamy life.
