Megan Wheeler
A neurodivergent writer and artist, Megan lives in an old railway cottage with her cat, and three ghosts. Once a struggling young reader herself, Megan’s passion for writing stems from wanting to help keep kids – especially boys – enjoying reading through their teen years. She writes funny (and sometimes rather gross) illustrated novels for teens, packed with themes of friendship and self-acceptance. Alongside writing, Megan enjoys knitting, portraiture, and making brightly coloured marshmallows.
Shiloh James is Completely (Para)Normal
Fourteen-year-old Shiloh James is completely normal, and only wants to eat his friends some of the time. While balancing his hunger for raw flesh with a desire to fit in and keep his zombie identity hidden, Shiloh dreams of a normal teenage life. When grisly deaths at his new school threaten to expose the existence of zombies and endanger his friends, Shiloh must find the killer and stop them before anyone else is hurt – living, or… less so.
‘Highly Commended’ in Edinburgh Young Adult Novel Award 2025, this teen mystery, with #ownvoices neurodivergent representation, blends the light-hearted zombie gore of Santa Clarita Diet with the humour of Apocalypse Cow. Perfect for fans of the Little Badman series moving on from middle grade.
