Meg Tilly rose to prominence on the big screen after appearing in The Big Chill. A recognizable face on stage and screen, she walked away from Hollywood at the height of her fame. 

Today, Tilly is a prolific novelist who has authored nine books. Her latest, Cliff's Edge, comes out in fall of 2019.

The author dropped by The Beat on 1 this week to discuss her journey from the screen to the page with anchor Lisa McRee.
