Coming Soon – Crossroads of Frozen Eternity Coming Soon – Crossroads of Frozen Eternity By Megan Cutler | April 6, 2015 | Comments 3 comments Just shy of a year ago, I announced the publication of my first novel Island of Lost Forevers. Real life has presented some real challenges since then (such as moving across an ocean and a continent), but I’m finally ready to share my novel’s sequel with you. In fact, the book’s release will coincide with … Read More Read More
Character Introduction: The Empath Character Introduction: The Empath By Megan Cutler | March 9, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment As I chip away at the final book in the trilogy, telling the end of a story I started more than ten years ago, my mind drifts back to the days when the Mystic Island was nothing but a couple of wispy ideas. I don’t think I’ve devoted enough time to discussing the conception and … Read More Read More
Stuff and Things Stuff and Things By Megan Cutler | February 16, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve written at length about the amazing adventure my husband and I embarked upon a year and a half ago when he accepted a job in the UK. I don’t think either of us believed it would actually happen when he received the email invitation. But it did and, amazing as it was, I’d be … Read More Read More
Happily Ever After Fails Happily Ever After Fails By Megan Cutler | October 13, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment Hollywood has played a cruel trick on us; it’s spent the past few years trying to convince us that every story deserves a happy ending.

Writers are not the Villains Writers are not the Villains By Megan Cutler | September 8, 2014 | Comments 1 comment Every now and then a post creeps across my tumblr dash in which readers express a desire to ‘steal’ their favourite novel characters from their respective author in order to ‘shield’ them. These posts usually involve keeping the writer at bay until they ‘learn how to properly take care of’ said characters. Subsequent replies discuss … Read More Read More
Missed Opportunities Missed Opportunities By Megan Cutler | June 30, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment Book blurbs and movie trailers serve the same purpose; to hook the audience. They give you a little taste of what you can expect, just enough to reel you in, then they leave you hanging. Writing a good book blurb or cutting a good trailer are another blog post. For the longest time, it seemed … Read More Read More
Get Published Podcast Get Published Podcast By Megan Cutler | June 18, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment My co-author, James, and I recently appeared on the Get Published Podcast. We talked about long-distance collaboration, self-publishing and, of course, Island of Lost Forevers.

Taking the Leap Taking the Leap By Megan Cutler | June 2, 2014 | Comments 1 comment There seems to be an eternal debate between Traditional Publishing and Self-publishing. People will argue over which is ‘better,’ with certain camps believing adamantly that self-publication ‘doesn’t count.’ I’m not here to throw my two cents into the ring; it’s obvious where my opinion falls. Suffice to say, there are advantages and disadvantages to each … Read More Read More

Who Am I? Who Am I? By Megan Cutler | May 12, 2014 | Comments 3 comments I’m sure it’s a bit late for a post like this, but I realized I’ve never properly introduced myself on this blog. And in light of current events, it seems appropriate. My name is Megan Cutler. I’m 28 years old and I’m a writer. Books have been a part of my life as far back … Read More Read More
