Meg Cabot

After she graduated from Indiana University, Cabot moved to New York City, with the original aim of pursuing a career as an illustrator.

[15] To make matters worse, her bedroom is haunted by an attractive male ghost named Jesse de Silva, who died 150 years earlier.

Suze remembers that back in New York, a fortune teller had told her that she was a mediator (which proved correct) and that she would only fall in love once, but it would last for an eternity.

[15] The first four books were originally released under the pseudonym Jenny Carroll (this was when Cabot was working with different publishing houses).

The first four books were later reprinted under Cabot's real name in 2005 with new cover art when Twilight was released in hardcover.

The UK titles for the series were: Shadowland- Love You to Death, Ninth Key- High Stakes, Reunion- Mean Spirits, Darkest Hour- Young Blood, Haunted- Grave Doubts, and Twilight- Heaven Sent.

[26] In December 2010, HarperTeen reprinted an omnibus edition titled The Mediator: Shadowland and Ninth Key.

This series revolves around Jessica Mastriani, an ordinary 16-year-old girl given extraordinary psychic powers after being struck by lightning.

[27][28] The first four books take place over less than a year and chronicle her attempts to help missing children while trying to avoid the scrutiny of the federal government.

[29] The series revolves around Samantha Madison, a Washington, D.C. native, who, while skipping her after-school art class, saves the life of the president, and becomes a national hero.

Now, she is no longer judged by her grades, but by her looks, and she has to fight the worldwide corporation, Stark Enterprises if she wants to find out what happened to her old life and protect her friends and family.

[15] Heather was once a teen star but was fired by her recording company when she asked to sing songs she had written instead of the ones they composed for her.

The book opens just after Heather has gotten a job as a residential house coordinator at New York College and quickly discovers that young girls in the dorm are being murdered.

The main character of this romantic comedy, Lizzie Nichols, is a recent college grad who isn't sure what she wants out of life.

This series is a modern retelling of Bram Stoker's Dracula, but the main character, Meena Harper, can foretell people's death.

This complicates things when she finds out from Alaric Wulf, a demon-hunter with a secret unit of the Vatican called the Palatine Guard, that vampires are attacking girls all over her native New York City, and that her new boyfriend might be one of them: Lucien Antonescu, Dracula's son, the Prince of Darkness.

When Lou is assigned the fourth installment in Jack's major movie franchise, they not only meet but share a wacky adventure, with moments of genuine danger.

[65] 10% of the author's US proceeds from Quarantine Princess Diaries, published in 2023 will go to Vow for Girls, a global charity that aims to end child marriage.

[69] In 2012, Meg's short story Wooden Animal appeared in Significant Objects, an anthology that benefitted Girls Write Now.

[72] In 2008, Meg contributed a story (Another All-American Girl) to the anthology Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out with all proceeds benefitting the National Children's Book and Literacy Alliance.
