In the Facebook group The Ward, the ongoing drama surrounding Susan Meachen’s fake death is perhaps more enticing than any novel.
Susan Meachen is an indie romance writer who, for the last two years, was known to be dead. In October 2022, a post to The Ward Facebook group – a private fanclub dedicated to Meachen – announced the aspiring author had taken her own life after she was bullied by fellow authors to the point of suicide.
Just one month before Meachen’s alleged death, the romance novelist posted on Facebook to her nearly 1,300 friends, lamenting about her career woes and the literary industry. Meachen revealed in the post that she’d previously attempted suicide and would be publishing her final book on 30 October.
The post announcing Meachen’s death, which claimed to have been written by her daughter, said that Meachen’s family wanted to honour their mother’s memory by publishing the book she had started, which they did.
Her final romance novel, titled “Love to Last a Lifetime,” is now available for $2.99 on Kindle.
Following news of Meachen’s untimely death, fellow book lovers and members of The Ward Facebook group shared their condolences. Two fundraisers also appeared to be shared to Meachen’s Facebook page to support suicide prevention, as recent as February 2022, although neither seems to have raised any money.
Editors offered to copy edit Meachen’s posthumous novel, free of charge. A group of authors even dedicated an anthology to her, writing in the dedication: “For Susan Meachen, an author of what she called Perfectly Flawed Romances. The world is a little less bright without her.”
......
But on 2 January, Susan Meachen was resurrected. Taking to The Ward Facebook group under her personal Facebook account once again, Meachen announced that she was never dead at all.
