Megan Wobus is an author and fiddler in Baltimore, Maryland.
Meg's young adult dystopian series is the Peaceful Society trilogy. The first book Privilege released in June 2025. The second book Prisoner is available for pre-order and Meg has a Peaceful Society mailing list. Meg's children's chapter book mysteries are published under the name Willow Night.
Meg is the founder and creator of Fiddle Studio, resources for fiddlers compiled from 20 years of teaching violin and fiddle lessons and classes that include a podcast, books, and video courses.
She started classical violin at the age of three and went on to major in Violin Performance and Music Education at the Eastman School of Music. Meg also grew up fiddling in the New England tradition and later branched out Quebecois, Irish, Old-Time, Contra, and Klezmer fiddle.
Megan Wobus delivers a bold and imaginative vision of the future in Privilege, the compelling first book in the Peaceful Society trilogy. Set in 2034, the novel introduces readers to the Peaceful Society of Greater Maryland—a world without weapons, where women lead, guns are banned, and even the smallest signs of aggression are monitored. On the surface, it’s a utopia. But beneath the order lies a current of tension ready to erupt.
Megan crafts a world that is as intriguing as it is unsettling, asking readers to question what peace really means—and what it might cost. Amity is a relatable and dynamic heroine, and her transformation is handled with nuance and heart. The romance is subtle but impactful, woven seamlessly into the tension and personal growth at the story’s core.
Privilege stands out for its smart worldbuilding, steady pacing, and the way it blurs the lines between utopia and dystopia. It’s a gripping story that explores power, obedience, and the courage it takes to ask hard questions in a world that insists on easy answers.
Thoughtful, suspenseful, and full of heart, Privilege is a powerful start to a series that promises even more intrigue and insight to come.
