Megan O'Leary sold all her stuff in 2006 and left her corporate job in Manhattan behind to give life in the Caribbean a go. After a four-year stint in St. Thomas that included working, cooking and living on boats, she went back to the continental U.S. - only to return to the Virgin Islands in 2016. She transitioned her life to the Pacific in 2018 and currently lives on Maui with her boyfriend, Thomas, and their dog, Wiley. A professional copywriter for more than 15 years, Megan holds a bachelor's degree in English and music from the University of Pennsylvania. Into the Blue is her first novel.
