- I write thrillers. Both my Jo Beckett and Evan Delaney series take place in California, where I’ve spent most of my life. Now I live near London, England, and invent stories about the place I came from. Read here about the writing life and the lies that pay my bills.

Yes – we know what:

Okay dj, something’s amiss here. In her original ‘confession’, Meg says that she went dressed up and her friend loaned her the costume. “Pale green suits me.”
In the picture, she is wearing orange.
She’s pulling a fast one; my feelings are the picture of her in the pale green outfit is geektastic!
I’ve two theories:
1. The piccie was taken a while ago and time can sometimes play tricks on the memory, so perhaps Meg forgot its colour.
2. Still on the memory theme, Meg couldn’t remember WHICH of her Trekkie outfits she had donned on that particular occasion.
I know which theory I’m opting for.
Dj, it’s got to be #2.
I think she has a wardrobe of Trek outfits and I think she should model them all for us and we should vote on the best one.
Meg O’Death, come out and play!
Hmm, yeah – a life…
I used to have one of those.
Hey everyone, I’m all at sea here. What am I missing??
susan, I’m with you…. not the foggiest of what’s going on.
Follow the link, ladies, and all will become clear: http://www.jeffvandermeer.com/2009/02/26/a-mystery-revealed-the-secret-trekkie-life-of-meg-gardiner/
Yay, Meg! Trekkers rule!
sheesh, thanks dj. Can’t figure how I missed that link up at the north end of this blog.
Or perhaps we’ve got the wrong end of the stick and Meg O’Death has challenged Tess Gerritsen to a Roller Derby duel to decide who gets to keep the book cover:

oooooohh. Coincidence?
Or is Meg really Tess in her spare time. Have we ever seen them together?
Excellent question, Susan. Tess G, Anita Shreve …who is the real Meg Gardiner? Is there any photographic evidence of all three in the same room?
Meg, you give so much to us, I wanted to share something with you.
Now, I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a very bad thing. I started consistently coming here after some gnome incident. But, just in case you love them, this site is for you.
