Growing up with only a lizard for a pet, Megan Squires now makes up for it by caring for the nearly forty animals on her twelve-acre flower farm in Northern California. A UC Davis graduate, Megan worked in the political non-profit realm prior to becoming a stay-at-home mom. She then spent nearly ten years as an award-winning photographer, with her work published in magazines such as Professional Photographer and Click. In 2012, her creativity took a turn when she wrote and published her first young adult novel. Megan is both traditionally and self-published, and An Heirloom Christmas is her tenth publication. She can't go a day without Jesus, her family and farm animals, and a large McDonald's Diet Coke.
