Get To Know Your Host... Megan!
🕑 Added 2022-10-17 14:30:01 +0000 UTCHey everyone! It's my week to tell you all about me, and I just decided to throw out some random facts that you may or may not have picked up about me after listening to our 100+ pods haha.
In the picture I posted, I'm at the beach, but I don't really like the sand or the sun because clearly I have the pasty skin of a vampire so here I am under a beach tent made for toddlers with a giant hat on and a blanket wrapped around my legs (unpictured). My husband was embarrassed, and I didn't blame him.
I like soccer (or football to the rest of the world) and the Premier League a lot! My husband and I root for Tottenham Hotspur and I love Son Heung Min, their South Korean star forward. My husband coaches my son's team, and we are always busy at games (you can ask Amy and Lia to verify this haha). Even if that one time I visited Tottenham, someone stole my phone. I forgive them. COYS!
I also like American football too. Go Eagles!
I played violin for about 10 years but stopped around 18 and can probably only play "A Whole New World" from Aladdin nowadays. Which is a damn good song.
I love Alice in Wonderland and have a large Alice in Wonderland tattoo on my upper left arm. It has a lot of purple in it, and after I spent like $1K on it and came home from my first session nearly comatose on pain endorphins, my husband said, "It looks like a big bruise" and I still haven't forgiven him.
Movies I can quote: Ferris Bueller's Day Off or any Adam Sandler movie from the 90s (don't judge my taste lol)
My author pen name? Ella Maven
What does Ella Maven write? Very smutty alien romance
Why does Ella Maven write very smutty alien romance? Because it's fun and people like it.
MBTI: ENFP
Food I can't stand: That chia seed yogurt that all the healthy girlies eat. The texture freaks me out.
Favorite books as a kid: Misty of Chincoteague series. I wanted to be a horse girl SO BAD.
Favorite Disney princess: Probably Belle, but like... Belle when the Beast was the Beast. Look, she was ready to bang the Beast as the Beast and so was I, clearly, at like 9. Maybe that's why I'm 39 and writing alien romance. It's a horns and tail thing, I don't know.
Okay, those are random facts about me lol. Happy to answer questions!

My daughter also loved and read the Marguerite Henry Misty series so I took her to Assateague Island for the pony swim. Except for the mosquitos, which were the size of birds, she thought it was magical. Nice to get to know you better!

Hi. It's Amy. Not Megan responding to Megan. LOL. But when I saw the pic before reading, I was like IS SHE POSTING A PICTURE FROM THE POOL? MEGAN HATES THE POOL. And I guess you hate the beach just as much. LOL. I can vouch that Megan is ALWAYS at her son's soccer games, and I think we should challenge each other to a Ferris Bueller/Adam Sandler trivia contest. Although it depends what Adam Sandler you like. I usually go for Adam Sandler as Adam Sandler (Big Daddy, Happy Gilmore, Bedtime Stories) than Adam Sandler as a character (I'm a no on Littley Nicky).

I think alien romance is what my life has been missing. After my work event is done (next week, thank goodness) I will be consuming :D

Last month I listened to 4 of your books from the Drixonian warrior series - they were a lot of fun! Plus I love the idea of a world where women are worshiped – it’s butter! I just checked the available audiobooks and found the 5th from the series! Thank you!

I am very jealous of your horses! I want a pony so badly, haha. And no, I started out writing contemporary romance. I like to read out of the box stuff, and delved into the alien romance genre as a reader. Decided to take the plunge and try my hand at it, and since it was successful, I haven't stopped! I've been published as Ella Maven for about 2 years now.

Belle for the win. I loved the beast too.
Krista
I'm also an ENFP.... and a horse girl (for real, I have 2 of them). Been curious about your literary genre... has that been your work from the start or did you take some time to find you own niche with writing?
Megan Erickson
HAHA my favorite is NOT brown!
Kara Guminski
Good to get to know you, Megan!!
Becky
After last week’s shocking reveal by Lia, we are going to need to also know your favorite color, please.
