Megan Price is a Vermont Lakes Region native whose heritage is 100 percent Welsh. True to Megan’s heritage, her original plan was to sing, but she decided writing was more likely to pay the bills. Megan worked as a news reporter, was later elected to serve three terms in the Vermont Legislature and later worked for health care reform to benefit elderly Vermonters that resulted in a Department of Justice investigation.
For the past decade, Megan has focused on writing the stories of retired game wardens. The result is “Vermont Wild, Adventures of Fish & Game Wardens” which has proven a hit with ages nine to 99 in Vermont and nationwide.
The wardens’ stories are told in the first person and immortalize their true encounters with hungry bear, angry moose, raucous raccoons and endless clever poachers. The stories are read aloud in schools from Maine to Texas taken to hunting camp and shared in nursing homes. To date, Megan has put more than 100 of the men’s stories into print, with the photos of the men and a brief bio in each book.
The signing will be held at the Poultney Museum of History and Art, 168 York Street, Poultney, Vt.
