For the benefit of readers who haven’t been formerly introduced to her, Megan Scott is the main character in my Megan Scott/Michael Elliott Mystery series. She works as a ghostwriter and loves the anonymity of her job within the safe, organized, and predictable environment of her home office.
To stir things up, I intertwined the orderly lifestyle of this thirty-something young woman with the risky and spontaneous adventures of handsome Michael Elliott, an investigative reporter. Then I sat back and waited.
How would Megan react when I dropped her into unnerving, life-threatening circumstances? Would she run away and hide? Or would she confront the danger and get hurt in the process? Yes, I was concerned. After all, she was my creation, my manuscript baby.
I can assure you that she hasn’t let me down. With each successive book I’ve written, Megan reveals increasing courage and determination. Although she remains somewhat cautious, her growing interest in joining Michael on crime-solving adventures has expanded her world and strengthened the bond between them. The pair began their journey as friends, but mutual loyalty and commitment has deepened that friendship. And then there’s the chemistry between them. Only time will tell if their relationship develops into something more serious.
Like most people, Megan is a multilayered character, complete with hopes and doubts about the choices she makes. Here are certain facts you might or might not already know about her:
– Megan is of Irish-Italian origin. She is an only child and lives in a condo in cosmopolitan Montreal. Her mother resides in the same city.
– While Megan was married to Tom, they tried to have children but were unsuccessful.
– Guilt about Tom’s unexpected death occasionally troubles Megan. She feels she could have prevented it somehow.
– Megan is curious about Michael’s work and joins him on investigative ventures, if only to pull him back from the brink of danger.
– She speaks French as well as English and translates for Michael during his interviews with French-speaking informants.
– Megan admires Michael and wishes she could be more like him. Consequently, she’s learning to trust her instincts more often.
– Though she’s hesitant about getting married again, she doesn’t deny she has deep feelings for Michael.
– Megan has a great eye for detail and is instrumental in deciphering clues.
– She has an excellent memory but jots notes on canary yellow lined paper—just in case.
– Her favorite snack is chocolate almonds. Need I say more?
