Announcing a New Project – Everyone’s Child! Announcing a New Project – Everyone’s Child! By Megan Cutler | April 3, 2023 | Comments 1 comment Early in 2022, I finished writing my Eternity’s Empire series. I started it in 2014, shortly before we returned to Canada from England.

By Megan Cutler | September 12, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment Perhaps no event is more exciting for a writer than being able to type the end.
