Meg Lacey

first discovered romance in the sixth grade when I wrote my own version of a classic civil war novel. However, my writing career didn't last. Instead I went into theater and studied acting and directing for my bachelor’s and master’s degrees and, finally, ended up in television as a writer-producer.

Over the years, I've also dabbled in a few other areas. I've been an actress, director, copywriter, creative dramatics teacher, mime, mom, college instructor and school-bus driver (and wow, are there stories in that experience). I’ve started two creative marketing and media companies in the Midwest and worked in all media, from network cable programming to corporate initiatives, but through it all, I've always returned to writing. I’ve written for Silhouette as Lynn Miller and for Harlequin Temptation and now I am thrilled to join the Harlequin American Romance family.

I have three funny, mouthy, independent daughters who are now all married and creating chaos in someone else’s life. I also have two little grandchildren and a wonderful husband. Guy is my true hero—he's survived life in a house with four women, two female cats and a female dog and can still remember how to tie his shoes. Without his marvelous sense of humor, patience, encouragement and support, my life would be very different.
