Megan Frances Edwards (born December 17, 1952) is an American writer and editor. Edwards was born in Great Lakes, Illinois, near North Chicago. She graduated with a B.A. from Scripps College in classics and an M.A. in education from Claremont Graduate University, after which she worked in Germany, Greece, California, Texas, and Nevada, as a teacher and also a school principal. She was also a columnist (1993–1998) for the Pasadena Weekly and a contributing writer (2000–2001) for the Las Vegas Weekly. On October 27, 1993, the house where she and her husband lived in California burned down in a wildfire, destroying nearly all their possessions. Instead of rebuilding, they bought a custom motorhome, named it "Phoenix One" and began a road trip that lasted six years. During this time the couple pioneered the (then difficult) art of connecting to the Internet while traveling.[1][2] One result was "RoadTrip America", a web resource started in 1996 for touring in North America. The first four years of her adventures in Phoenix One are recorded in the book "Roads from the Ashes".[3] In general, the book was well received.[4][5][6][7][8] [9] In 2008 a collection titled "Caution: Funny Signs Ahead" was published. The book contains pictures of actual signs that are humorous due to juxtapositions, misspellings, double entendres, etc., and which were originally published online at RoadTripAmerica.com.[10] In 2010 Edwards contributed a short story to "The Perpetual Engine of Hope," an anthology featuring stories written by seven Las Vegas writers.[11] She became a contributing writer for Nevada Public Radio's Desert Companion magazine in 2012. In 2017, Edwards debut novel "Getting off on Frank Sinatra: A Copper Black Mystery," was published by Imbrifex Books, March 2017.[12] Other books published by Imbrifex Books include: "Strings: A Love Story," published September 2017.[13] and "Full Service Blonde: A Copper Black Mystery" published in November, 2017. [14] In 2018, Edwards contributed a short story to "Live Through This: An Anthology of Unnatural Disasters," an anthology featuring stories written by eleven Las Vegas writers.
