Megan

Yes, I write under many names: Megan Crane, Caitlin Crews, M.M. Crane, and Hazel Beck. But no matter the name, the story is always all mine. Why do I write under a variety of names? I have Reasons.

I discovered my first romance novel at the age of twelve in a bargain bin at the local five and dime. It involved swashbuckling pirates having grand adventures on the open sea, a heroine with a mind of her own, and a seriously masterful hero who swept her away no matter how clever she was.

I was immediately smitten with romance and all the romantic themes I could get my hands on. (I still am.)

I had grand plans to star on Broadway — preferably in Evita, just like the great Patti LuPone. Sadly, my inability to wow audiences with my singing voice required a back up plan, so I launched myself into academics instead. This was not a good fit for someone who liked lounging about and reading books a lot more than dissecting them in classrooms, but it did allow me to live in England for half a decade, so I can’t complain.

Writing (and finishing!) my first book was a relief.  And actually publishing that book was one of the greatest thrills of my life.

Now I’m more than 100 books in, I’m still a romance fanatic, it still thrills me to see my books on shelves, and yes, I’m still plotting my Broadway debut.

Which URL should I use: MeganCrane.com or CaitlinCrews.com?

Either! There is only one site, but like me, it answers to two names. I am using MeganCrane.com in my promotional materials, but whichever URL you use, it will get you to the info you are looking for. Magic!

Why don’t you write more sheikhs/virgins/secret babies/marriages of convenience/my favorite romantic theme?

First, check out my Romantic Themes page. It could be that I’ve written more books with that particular thing you like than you realize!

But I could also be writing it right now. Always feel free to email me and ask!

What’s the order of the Deacons of Bourbon Street series you wrote with other authors? Do I have to read them in order?

Book One by Megan Crane: Make You Burn

Book Two by Rachael Johns: Fire Me Up

Book Three by Jackie Ashenden: Hold Me Down

Book Four by Maisey Yates: Strip You Bare

And I think you could certainly read them out of order if you wanted to do that. wouldn’t. There’s the little matter of a mystery to solve. But you could.
