Megan Mackie has summoned a tome to aid her fellow adventurers. Contrary to her own fiction work, she aimed to keep this information as simple and inclusive as possible. She has travelled coast-to-coast to many conventions including DragonCon, GalaxyCon, Salt Lake City, PensaCon, and many more conventions. With over 6 years and 60+ tabled events, she continues to take her books, including the Lucky Devil Series to the readers accepting quests to add to her completion pile.
