Trademarking Rugby Thighs..


First of all… the subject says it all. Rugby. Thighs. ALL MINE.

Book two of The Coastal Try Series is back in my hands. That’s right, edits have arrived.

Which means I’ve entered what can only be described as the editing cave where time no longer exists, my to-do lists keeps multiplying, and every sentence suddenly looks suspicious. If you ever wondered what the author version of a rugby tackle looks like, it’s me currently wrestling with a manuscript while muttering things like, “this scene is perfect,” followed immediately by, “actually burn it all down.”

The good news? I’m genuinely so excited about this book. Getting to spend more time with these characters is always a plus and seeing them fall in love all over again? Yes.

Did you see the sneak peek of Book 2?!

I did find out that Collide audiobook is releasing on Dec 8th 2026. Narrators to be revealed soon I promise!!

For now, I’m diving back into edits, surviving largely on caffeine. As always, thank you for being here. Whether you’ve read one of my books or all of them, posted online, recommended to a friend or simply opened this email, I appreciate you.

Come back next week for Riptide audio giveaway and maybe the first chapter of these edits?

Now if you’ll excuse, I have approximately seventeen hundred tracked changes calling my name.

Big hugs,

Meghan ❤️

Hi loves, I know I’ve been a little quieter than usual lately, but summer holidays have very much been summer holiday-ing over here.

And speaking of books: Play & Pretend is getting so close. 🥹 If you’re impatient and want to get your hands on Seren and Jake’s story...

Hello, my loves! I hope you’re staying cool, drinking water and not making direct eye contact with your electricity bill while every fan in the house runs at full speed. The UK has apparently decided it would like to cosplay as the surface of the sun, football has taken over approximately seventy-eight percent of all conversations, and Love Island continues to prove that communication skills are entirely optional when everyone involved is wearing swimwear. Meanwhile, I have been indoors...

I have some very exciting news, and if you follow me over on Instagram, you may have already seen me trying to act calm and normal about it. Spoiler: I am not calm or normal about it. I’m officially signing at RARE London next July! I’ve been attending RARE events for years as a reader, usually wandering around with heart eyes, a tote bag that is absolutely not big enough, and a bank account quietly begging for mercy. So to finally be on the other side of the table, signing books and meeting...
