Meg was a dear friend and a fun person who lived life to the full.
She and I were sometimes mistaken for each other at conferences!
When I was an aspiring writer, Meg was always there at the various conventions eager to welcome me and the other newbies. She'd say, "I'll meet you in the 'Literary Salon', in other words, the bar. She was so gracious and supportive and kind. She went out of her way to introduce me to published writers I was too shy to approach. What a sweet soul! I shall miss her!
I'm so sad to learn of this. I 'knew' her when I was active on DorothyL. She was such a delightful poster that it lead me to read her books. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
So sorry to hear this. Loved her. Always had a smile and a kind word.
Oh no! Meg was a pure delight and I hate that she's gone :-(
Another one. So sad. i always enjoyed seeing Meg at conventions. i also liked her charlie Plato series, which is still on my book shelf.
Sad to hear of Meg's passing. I was always pleased to see her, and chat with her at whatever conference we both happened to attend. Her books will live on.

She was one of the first people to befriend me at my 1st Bouchercon as a freshly minted author. A real shame.
Meg was a great writer and a world traveler. She gave me one of her Japan romance novels that was out of print; i still treasure it. Me reached out to everyone, not falling into cliques; she was always glad to lend a hand and smile. She really was of the grand dames of the modern mystery world. I hope she is the Ghost of Honor at Malice Domestic this year.
One more notch on this awful year's belt. Meg was a darling.
I'm going to read "More Than You know" today (it's on my TBR shelf) in her memory.
