COFE Staycation – How Did the Cover Come About? COFE Staycation – How Did the Cover Come About? By Megan Cutler | September 15, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment As I mentioned during the IOLF blog tour, I made a lot of mistakes the first time I designed the Mystical Island covers. Not the least of which was the color scheme (faded instead of bright), the art style (simple vector instead of illustration or photomanipulation) and utter failure to include any of the characters … Read More Read More

The Soul of the Earth Awakens! The Soul of the Earth Awakens! By Megan Cutler | August 9, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment A little over a year ago, I released the first chapter of Eternity’s Empire, a series of short stories featuring college girls who discover they have the power of ancient goddesses. It was an experiment, really, to fill the gap between major projects. While I have finished at least two large novels since I started … Read More Read More

We Can Learn to be Good to Each Other We Can Learn to be Good to Each Other By Megan Cutler | July 31, 2017 | Comments 1 comment A few months ago, Mormons started knocking on my door. The first time I saw them was the same day a maniac drove into a crowd of pedestrians on the Westminster Bridge in London while my husband was .4 miles away at the Cenotaph with his field trip group of high school students.

Everyone dreads tax time, of course. Who wants to discover they owe the government money? Even if you’re getting a return, tax time is a stressful mix of gathering all the relevant information and hoping … Read More Read More
Why I Hate the Five Star Rating System Why I Hate the Five Star Rating System By Megan Cutler | June 19, 2017 | Comments 5 comments Awhile back, my friend Beth wrote about her frustrations with the five star rating system used by most sites, including Amazon and Goodreads. Even if you use half stars, cramming your opinion into such a small numerical scale is tricky. First of all, where do you draw the line between a three and a four? … Read More Read More
The Key to Destiny The Key to Destiny By Megan Cutler | June 5, 2017 | Comments 1 comment One character I haven’t talked about much is Reianna. You may have noticed a lot of my characters interact in various settings, but Reianna is always off on her own. Her story is isolated from most of my multiverse. I don’t think she’ll ever cross into any of my other worlds, and I’m not sure … Read More Read More
