About the presenter: Megan Montgomery is a multi-award winning author of steamy, smart, character-driven romance. Her debut novel, Well...That Was Awkward, described as "a big, juicy bite of Chesapeake Bay culture," was inspired by her homesickness for southern Maryland. She now lives among the cornfields of Illinois with her family. When she's not writing, reading, or editing, you'll find her volunteering at the library or the medicinal herb garden (or cackling over a cauldron during a full moon.) Her books have received two B.R.A.G. Medallions, the Best Indie Book Awards for romance, the Indie Reader Discovery Award for chick lit. the Rudy Award for contemporary romance, and were finalists in the Page Turner Book and Screenplay Awards.
