Cara McKenna writes smart erotica—sexy stories with depth. A little dark, a little funny, always emotional. She also writes red-hot romance under the name Meg Maguire. Her wonderful publishers are Ellora's Cave, Harlequin® Blaze™, Penguin / Intermix, and Samhain. She loves writing sexy, character-driven stories about strong-willed men and women who keep each other on their toes, and bring one another to their knees.

Before becoming a purveyor of red-hot romance and smart erotica, Cara was a record store bitch, a lousy barista, a decent designer, and an over-enthusiastic penguin handler.

Cara now writes full-time and lives north of Boston with her bearded husband. When she's not trapped in her own head she can usually be found in the kitchen, the coffee shop, or jogging around the nearest duck-filled pond. She is a very proud member of the Romance Writers of America® and her local New England Chapter. She was a 2010 Golden Heart® finalist, a 2012 Golden Leaf finalist, and a 2012 Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award nominee.

If for some misguided reason you'd like to meet Cara, she'll be attending the RWA National Conference in Atlanta, July 17–20, and participating in the book signing.

Cara is represented by Laura Bradford, of the Bradford Literary Agency.

Cara posts frequently on the Super Lucky #1 Fun Blog, and monthly on the Blaze Authors Blog and the Wonkomance blog.
