AUTHOR BIO
STRONG, BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS CHARACTERS.
**Write something worth reading**
I'm Margaret and I'm a self-published author.
Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best-selling status on my YA/NA book - Ugly, and my YA book - Mistrust.
My last six books have been YA and I'm completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.
My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the 'perfect' woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren't just about the romance. They're about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.
I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.

I finished this book in a day. That should tell you how engrossed and how hooked I was. It comes at a very crucial, albeit ironical time in my life. I've been trying to lose weight and this story just rang all my bells, raised all my flags.
I'm thankful or livid at Margaret for writing this story....the jury is still out!
As I opened the pages and progressed in the chapters, one thing stood out. Every. Paragraph had the words - "I need to get skinny.
I need to be perfect.
I just have to lose a little more.
Another five pounds, and I’ll look like everyone else.
Like all the other girls.
I need to be thin.
I hate how I look.
I hate how fat I am.
I’m so fat I’m disgusting.
No one will ever love me being this fat.
No one will ever care for me if I’m fat.
I have to be skinny."
After about 5 chapters, I was annoyed, frustrated and my anger was boiling. It was like a drop of water plopping on my soul, consistently, persistently, on the second, every second.
I'm thankful or livid at Margaret for writing this story....the jury is still deciding!
I closed the book at halfway point..I'd had enough!
Then stood back and thought, if I'm THAT pissed or annoyed just READING it...imagine the REAL person EXPERIENCING this!!
I was flabbergasted, ashamed at myself for being so callous and unsympathetic '!
So I started the book again...from the beginning, with new set of eyes!
I'm telling ya..I cried everytime the voices in Jane Riley's head mocked her. I wanted to strangle those voices cause they were poisoning this beautiful 17 year old girl. Nipping her blossom, retarding her growth. With every mock, every taunt, she folded on herself, made herself smaller physically and emotionally.
Her teachers, her instructor, her classmates, her so called crush..they ALL have a hand in victimising her!
WTF people!! raise your children right and make sure they aren't Assholes and bullies.
I'm so angry at these rude, crude, obnoxious, toxic people whose only source of entertainment is turning on the defenseless, weak girl. I say weak psychologically, cause these words etch on her soul and become her truth. So begins her downward spiral into the world of anorexia
“What’s living in your head is a controlling one-dimensional asshole. An eating disorder actually doesn’t give a rat’s ass what you weigh, just what you think about yourself.”
She. Nearly. DIES!!
Let that sink in...a life could be snuffed out, a beautiful, promising life could be cut short by the reckless verbal assault of some douchecanoe people.
I'm thankful or livid at Margaret for writing this story....the jury is back with the verdict
The whole story just filled my body and mind with resonating clamor - Words Matter!! Think before you speak!!
Margaret is forever known for writing fictional stories based on factual trauma. Jane could be me..or you..or your family member..or your friend.
This story belongs to ME, to YOU, to US.
All her prose is with a purpose..to shove us in front of the mirrors and take a hard look at ourselves. Are whatever we saying hurting somebody or bolstering someone.
Are we knocking somebody down or holding someone up.
I'm thankful or livid at Margaret for writing this story....the jury unanimously agrees
The story is IMPORTANT
The story is POWERFUL
The story is EMPOWERING
Every person, parent, human should / Must read this story. It's life changing, life altering, a mind opening dialogue that will better you as a citizen of this world.
I LOVE F*@king you Margaret
