MEG: Hell's Aquarium

It has finally happened. After weeks of waiting for a response, I found out Friday that I was picked to be a character in the upcoming Steve Alten book, MEG: Hell's Aquarium! Mere words could not begin to express how excited and happy I am.

Steve Alten is one of my favorite authors and the MEG series is the best series I've read by far. So to be picked as a character in the fourth installment of this series is an honor indeed. And an even greater honor is potentially in store as I wait to see if my character will be used as nutrition for the fascinating Megalodon simply known as Meg. I want to be eaten!
