“I can forgive many things, but I don’t think I could ever forgive your faking your death,” author Karen Hall wrote to author Susan Meachen in a Facebook post. Meachen didn’t respond to requests for comment.
In September 2020, the online community of self-publishedwas rocked by a Facebook post announcing that author Susan Meachen had died by suicide.
Other writers who knew Meachen online were struck with grief, wondering if they had done everything they could to prevent her death. Her online friends collected money for her funeral expenses. They worked for free to edit one of her unpublished works for publication to fulfill what was described as Meachen’s last wish: the release of a final book ahead of her daughter’s wedding.
“I can forgive many things, but I don’t think I could ever forgive your faking your death,” author Karen Hall wrote to Meachen in a Facebook post.Meachen’s return to writing hasn’t received much support, aside from one confused fan who wrote “welcome back?” under her post.Before the apparently faked suicide, Meachen was known in Facebook romance communities for her willingness to help would-be authors learn how to market and publish their books online.
“My mom loved you so and it’s very hard to let go,” someone controlling the Meachen account wrote back to the fan, in a message later posted online. Now Meachen’s former friends suspect that Steele was in fact Meachen all along, reasserting control over her old fan group through an alias. Whoever runs Steele’s account appeared to acknowledge that she was in fact Meachen, posting around the same time that Meachen reemerged this week that Steele would “return to my real account and name. “
Meachen’s return to writing hasn’t received much support, aside from one confused fan who wrote “welcome back?” under her post. The announcement roiled the world of Facebook romance writers, with one blogger writing simply “what the hell.”
