A long time ago, I wrote the prologue for what I hope will one day be Rose’s story. I really liked the concept at the time so I’ve kept it squirreled away on my hard drive. You may have noticed that a little while back I went digging and found a bunch of old writing…. Read more »

Welcome to the home of Megan Cutler, author of the Mystical Island Trilogy and the Eternity's Empire series. I write science fiction, fantasy, and many of their sub-genres. Here you can find information about the various people who live in my head and the diverse worlds they inhabit. You can also find news about my latest work, plus short stories and free samples. I blog on Mondays and release new short fiction every Friday. (I sleep when my characters let me.) If you have read my work, I would love to hear from you! Read More »

A Reverse Fairy Tale
March 17, 2017 | 0 Comments »
Over on Tumblr I participate in the #writeblr community. Some have started posting spontaneous prompts and so far I’ve really enjoyed answering them. So much so that I wanted to share my responses here. These are written off the cuff, without any planning. Today’s prompt was a reverse fairy tale. . . . Rose had… Read more »
The Blessings of Marriage
March 10, 2017 | 1 Comment »
Every time I hit a multiple of ten with these writing prompts, I like to do something special. This time, I decided to re-write a prompt with the same character, in the same world, but at a different point in their timeline. And it just so happened I was struck by inspiration while I was… Read more »
Seventy Percent Success Rate; a Tale of Pride
February 17, 2017 | 0 Comments »
“I’ve noticed a disturbing trend.” “Oh?” The queen arched an eyebrow, peering across the short table at the head of her personal guard. Even at a private, informal meeting he was an imposing man. His dark eyes were full of storm clouds as his lips pressed into a thin line. A stray lock of black… Read more »
The Ultimate Key; a Tale of Greed
February 10, 2017 | 1 Comment »
Of all the queen’s treasures, it was to the simple silver key she wore around her neck that Silkfoot’s eyes were continuously drawn. It was too plain to have been intended as a decoration, too ordinary to suit the fantastic nature of the woman who wore it. But he dared not ask about the adornment,… Read more »
Farewell 2016
December 19, 2016 | 0 Comments »Part of me can’t believe it’s time to write my Christmas Hiatus post already; the part of me that’s still back in February, fresh back from watching Deadpool, before the year got super crazy. The rest of me is ready to get off the wild ride that 2016 has been and is hoping that next… Read more »
In Love and Trust
December 16, 2016 | 0 Comments »
The pathetic little creature had been stalking him for about forty minutes now, darting beneath the nearest cover every time he half-turned his head. It seemed to be under the impression that hiding its face was enough to keep him from noticing the brightly colored legs shivering in the cold and wind. If not for… Read more »
A Modern Fantasy Setting
November 14, 2016 | 5 Comments »
I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of a fantasy world that made it to modern times. Not quite the same as urban fantasy, which tends to be our world with magical elements tossed in. More like a high fantasy world whose ancient empires never fell. A world where it makes sense for a warrior… Read more »
I Trust Your Judgment
November 4, 2016 | 0 Comments »
With a mighty yawn, the tawny-colored cat stretched, letting his claws slip free of their sheaths, though he was careful not to catch them on any of his mistress’s blankets. He was tempted, for a moment, to curl back into the sunbeam, which had shifted a few inches since last he stirred, and return to… Read more »
Short and Sweet
October 10, 2016 | 0 Comments »The day this goes live, my little brother will have just finished saying his vows. I will be fresh back from a whirlwind trip to the states (probably and hopefully deeply asleep). I’m sure it was a lovely wedding (though I’m writing in this in the past, so I don’t yet have details). In any… Read more »
