Not sure if anyone heard but Susan was an author who committed suicide after being bullied by other authors online. Horrible. I found out about it from the FB groups. I didn't know her but many who did have been posting here and there about it and the situation. For those who think bullying is just words, well this is another example of why it's much more than that. R.I.P. Susan. She was a wife and a mother. Just heartbreaking. www.amazon.com/Susan-Meachen/e/B0769GXXGY%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_shareHere is a FB page where someone is still posting for her: www.facebook.com/susan.meachenShe was also a book cover designer.

Oh no, that's horrible. ;( I didn't know her at all. That's extremely sad. I did a search around on FB, but most of the conversations must be in closed groups. I see that she posted up a reason to stay alive, so it looks like she was struggling for a while. No idea why anyone would want to bully her. Whoever was doing that must be very cold and cruel. ;(

I can only imagine how her family feels.

Yes I remember this. The person who bullied her was another author named Samantha Cole. She more or less bragged about it, but then changed her tune and began denying it when she realized she could end up facing accountability. Cole has bullied other authors too.

It was Samantha Cole who did this? She's in some Facebook groups I am in. I had no idea. She's a cop I believe or used to be one. She should be ashamed of herself. I notice she doesn't pop into FB as much as she used to but this shameful. Samantha (if this is the same one I am talking about) seemed so supportive and helpful when she would post writing tips. My goodness. Like they say, you never know someone. People get online and they have these fake personas and hide who they are. I hope this haunts Cole for the rest of her life.
