Megan Winkler
Megan Winkler is a writer who refuses to be restricted by the bounds of one subject group and revels in the diversity of the writing world. Holding a BA in History from the University of North Texas, Megan is currently earning an MA in Military History and American History from American Military University.
When she's not deconstructing revolutionary battlefield maps and arguing the merits of guerrilla warfare, she listens to any work of music she can get her hands on, especially if it's new, wacky, indie and basically not of the mainstream music world...that is if she's not flipping through the latest best seller or some random piece of Russian literature.
Megan's work frequently appears in various places online and in print: here on Suite1010, History Magazine, Poetry Guild publications, and most recently the Autism Speaks official blog.
Find her in-depth music reviews on Metronome Review.
She is a historian, a student, an artist, a blogger, a writer, a musician, and many other diverse things.
...and she's not entirely opposed to being stalked online. Here's her Twitter.
