In 2015, San Antonio native Megan Padalecki took the literary world by storm with her debut children’s book, Big Mo. Since that time, it has been a thrilling ride for the former architect now author. The charismatic Padalecki has brought Big Mo’s story to bookstores, conventions and classrooms amassing a substantial and appreciative audience seduced by the incredible tale, exquisite illustrations and positive message of preserving the beauty of Earth’s natural resources. Big Mo received well-deserved accolades by readers and in the press.

In addition, since I am now a published author myself, my love for books has taken on a new and even more appreciative dynamic. I’m extremely proud to belong to the published authors club.
