Megan Nicol Reed Author

Thrice nominated for New Zealand's best columnist, Megan Nicol Reed spent seven long years mining her life for a column that originally ran in the Sunday Star Times and then the New Zealand Herald's Canvas magazine.

Loved and hated in equal measure, the former journalist's weekly words never failed to provoke a reaction among readers. She became particularly known for her gentle skewering of the middle classes.

Megan lives in Auckland with her husband, two teenage children and dog. One of Those Mothers is her first novel.
