M.E. Meegs

M.E. Meegs began writing epic poetry while still in the cradle, though her first real recognition came only after the completion of her dramatic tragedy, "Dolly's Fourth, and Final, Crusade." Written when she was five, it chronicles the midnight adventure of a favorite doll, which ended sadly in the jaws of a neighbor's mastiff.

She lives now in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, with a first-class typewriter and a middling husband who will soon be in need of a food taster if he doesn't begin showing a little more appreciation for her literary efforts.

A truly loving soul, she harbors neither children nor pets--fearing the temptation to make sacrifices of them to her tetchy muse might prove irresistible.
