Meg now travels nationwide as a speaker, singer/songwriter and humorist. She is the mother of two wise, funny and handsome sons, ages 17 and 20, and has a second-degree black belt in karate. For ten years she was a commentator for NC Public Radio on a segment called “Radio Free Bubba” and has also been heard on National Public Radio’s “Weekend All Things Considered.”

Meg was one of the original 12 Hub City writers, with essay in Hub City Anthology and HUb City Christmas, and was also part of Hub City’s In Morgan’s Shadow murder mystery. These books, as well as The Best of Radio Free Bubba and Return of Radio Free Bubba are available on Hub City’s catalog page on this site.
