Meredith is a small business owner of a multi-media studio in a small Maryland town. A jack-of-all-trades, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in Integrated Arts after studying as a double-major in Theatre Production and History. She’s a fourth generation independent business owner (her grandparents for 3 generations before her owned Antique shops). In many ways, Meredith grew up in the setting of a cozy mystery complete with cats, small dogs, Victorian homes, tea parties, and colorful characters, however, thankfully, no murders. An arts advocate, and life-long reader and lover of books, Meredith has turned her eye to book reviewing to give back to the so many authors who’ve inspired her creativity.
