  1. She has a one-eyed cat called Henrietta. 2. Meg's cure for writer's block is eating cookies and watching TV for a few days in a row. Or until her Visa bill arrives. 3. Meg has written all her books in bed and she says the best thing about being a writer is that she can wear her pyjamas to work. 4. Her favourite food is plain cheese pizza. 5. Meg's biggest accomplishments so far include passing Algebra and owning her own house. 6. Star Wars changed her life when she was 11 years old. She says her greatest influence was the film's director George Lucas, because when she first saw Star Wars, she realized that you can actually make money from making stuff up. 7. Meg describes herself as "infectiously delightful", but she's sure there are others who would strongly disagree! 8. If Meg wasn't writing books she'd be a cartoonist or illustrator - she's got a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. 9. Two of Meg's books have been turned into films - The Princess Diaries and its sequel. Disney may also make All American Girl into a feature length film. 10. In her spare time (apart from watching TV and eating cookies!), Meg likes to go out and walk around New York City, which is where she lives as there is always something going on somewhere, and lots of nice things to eat while you are doing them.
