Line 45:
Margaret's writing career began to take off into her young adult years. She was able to quit her part-time job at the local bookstore, while at this time she was writing the series of books for which she is most famous, the six ''Moon Colony'' novels. In these books, the protagonist, Syna (pronounced like 'sheena') DeLorean, leads an expedition to found a colony on the moon. (As of this writing the first Moon Colony book is being optioned into a movie.) She also wrote a long fantasy series (6 books) about a mystical princess in a distant kingdom. She wrote most of her books under the pseudonyms Meg Plumb or Meg Finney (her mother's maiden name). When her father passed away, Margaret did not remain in the farmhouse, as he had hoped. Instead, with her earnings she purchased a house near the beach, on the cliffs of Sunset Valley. The only known romantic relationship in Margaret's life was a brief dalliance with [[Malcolm Landgraab]] when both were elders.
===Elder Years and Legacy===
Margaret penned her most financially successful books during this time, as her skill level allowed her to write longer books in different genres. She dabbled in romance with ''The Scrapbook'', a novel she later said she "hated"; however, the money she earned from it made her financially secure for the first time in her life. With this newfound wealth she was able to purchase the bookstore at which she worked during her teens, and she also devoted herself fully to writing. She wrote and researched a history of her family, the Plumbs, through three generations in Sunset Valley; and finally she wrote a masterpiece novel, ''The Longest Shadow''. Margaret died in the bathroom of her brother's house, holding a book in her hand. She was 95 days old. In her will she surprised everyone by leaving her entire fortune to her half-brother [[Fanon:Nathan Jolina-Plumb|Nathan]]'s daughter, her then-teenaged niece, [[Fanon:Savannah Plumb|Savannah]], who later honored her by naming her first-born [[Fanon:Sage Cheesman|daughter]] after her. Another great-niece, [[Fanon:Sierra Cheesman|Sierra]], has also expressed the desire to pen speculative science-fiction.
