Meg Howrey is an American ballet dancer, actress and author. Novels under her own name include The Wanderers (2017), The Cranes Dance (2012), and Blind Sight (2011). Along with Christine Lynch, Howrey has also written two books under the pseudonym Magnus Flyte: The City of Lost Dreams (2013) and The City of Dark Magic (2012). 

Raised in small town Danville, Illinois, Meg claims she wanted to be a dancer from the age of three when she thrilled to her mother's recordings of Fleetwood Mac and Neil Diamond. She left home at 12 to study dance and landed in the big leagues at 15, when she went to study at The School of American Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet, both in New York City.

She went on to perform with the Joffrey in New York and on tour. Later, she danced for the City Ballet of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Opera. In 2001 she won the Ovation Award for Best Featured Performance by an Actress for her role in the Broadway National Tour of "Contact." Howrey now makes her home in Los Angeles, California.
