Megan Clawson was born and raised in Boston, Lincolnshire. In 2018, she moved to London to study English with Film at King’s College London. The daughter of a Beefeater, Megan lived inside the Tower of London with her dad and little dog, Ethel, for many years. The experience of living inside the real-life palace and fortress still inspires much of her writing. Now she lives back in the peace and quiet of the Lincolnshire countryside with her family, working in a local primary school alongside her writing. Falling Hard for the Royal Guard was her debut novel, published in 2023.
