    Author Interview: Meghan Le Fay

    Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Meghan Le Fay, author of Wings of Life and the upcoming Scales of Flame!  Be sure to read book one soon because Scales of Flame drops in November! Meghan Le Fay hails from present-day Earth, despite her lifelong dream of being born as an elf in Middle-earth. A constant and consummate fan of fantasy, she lives, breathes, and dreams in the spidery language of the magic. Her works are inspired by her obsessions with mythology, medieval history, and all things magical and mystical—especially dragons. When not writing or daydreaming of other realms, Meghan can be found avoiding the Arizona desert heat through reading, crafting, music, or dance. Or having wild adventures (both real and imaginary) with her family. Listen in as we chat more about Meghan’s books, Middle-earth, and dragons!
