Megan Lee Beals works in a bookstore by day, and on her writing by night. In the hours that belong to neither category, she knits vintage color-work patterns into sweaters and hats. She’s hoping to find time in between all that to learn sword-making, particularly swords forged from the blood of dragons. Megan lives in Tacoma, Washington with her husband and a one-eyed cat. Her fiction has appeared in The Iowa Review, Intergalactic Medicine Show, and the Toasted Cake podcast.
