Meet the Author
Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area, Meredith moved with her mother to Knoxville, Tennessee, during her senior year of high school. Already involved with horses, she became a confirmed country girl. She went on to college and veterinary school at the University of Tennessee, graduating in 1981.
In 1988, after practicing in Tennessee and later in Northern Virginia, she bought a small veterinary practice in Williamsburg, Virginia. In time, she found her way into breeding and showing Longhaired Dachshunds.
Maegan Penley knew from the beginning she was destined to make art, but it wasn’t until the day her parents found scribbles on the walls throughout their house that they realized the inevitable and bought Maegan her first drawing book. She now lives in Georgia with her husband and two dogs, and can often be seen jogging around her neighborhood with the dogs in tow, distractedly looking at trees, plants, bugs, and animals. She really, really likes stories.
