Meg Waite Clayton took a leap, leaving a busy career in law to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a writer. She's written eight novels since 2002. Her recent books could be categorized as historical fiction, not wholly based on history but real people and events sprinkled with invented characters. Her latest, "The Postmistress of Paris," is a layered story of suspense, romance, and the beauty of art, inspired by the true story of a woman who helped to smuggle artists and intellectuals out of German-occupied France.
