years designing for her own label, she started writing
because “it just felt good.” Sensing a magnetic pull from
the California coast, she packed her car and made a
soul-filled journey from Charleston, South Carolina, to
Carpinteria, her home for more than a year. A freelancer
for various publications and co-author of the children’s
book Spice & Little Sugar, Megan considers the literary
world her home, sweet home.
James Buckley

an avid golfer who has allowed his love of the game
to get in the way of his other avocation: writing and
publishing a Thedim Fiste Mystery series, based upon
the life, foibles, exploits, and discoveries of an editor of
a weekly newspaper in a small upscale community on
the California coast.
Zachary Rosen
is a Certified Cicerone (beer Sommelier), consultant,
and event designer based in Santa Barbara. Zach uses
his background in chemical engineering and the arts

more than 30 years. He has published his work in daily
and weekly newspapers in New Jersey and California,
as well as in Santa Barbara Magazine and a nationally

at East Beach, just a short jog from Montecito’s famous
Butterfly Beach.

Bachelor’s degree and teaching credential from

English and American history for the Santa Barbara
School District for many years and retired from

dusty tome, she can be found on the tennis courts,
hiking trails, or out on a kayak marveling at the
dolphins. She and her husband, former Dos Pueblos
volleyball coach Mike Beresford, are avid campers
and travelers.
