Megan Peterson

Megan Peterson lives in Chicago with her husband and three kids who supply a surplus of writing inspiration. As a reader and writer, Megan has an insatiable appetite for tales of truth that connect us to celebrate milestones, lick collective wounds, see things from a different point of view, laugh at ourselves and support others. She enjoys avoiding Pinterest (can’t fail if you don’t try), perfecting the accent of her Steel Magnolias spirit animal (Truvy) and calculating the millions of dollars she'd owe her friends and family in therapy bills, if she actually paid them. Find her work on Huffington Post, Mamalode, Sammiches and Psych Meds and Scary Mommy, as well as on her own site, Life Trumps Fiction. Connect with her on Facebook.
