March Chicklit Author Interview: Author #6 Beth Merlin

Beth Merlin

Beth Merlin, a native New Yorker, loves anything Broadway, romantic comedies, and a good maxi dress. After earning her JD from New York Law School, she heard a voice calling her back to fiction writing, like it had during her undergrad study. Amidst her days in The George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Affairs, where Beth majored in Political Communications, she found herself wandering into Creative Writing classes, and ended up earning a minor in the field. After 10 long years laboring over her first manuscript, her debut novel, One S’more Summer, released May 2017. International bestselling author Kristin Harmel called it “a fast paced, enjoyable read”.

Love You S’more is the last book in the Campfire Series. While she’s sad to say goodbye to the characters she’s been working on for the last 10+ years, she hopes she’s given readers (whether Team Gideon or Team Perry) a satisfying ending. And she is so grateful to all of the fans who have supported her and Gigi along the way.

When Beth isn’t working on new novels (like her upcoming title Breakup Boot Camp), she’s spending time with her husband, daughter, and Cavipoo, Sophie.

March Chicklit Author Interview: Author #5 Sasha Lane

Sasha Lane

I live in Barnsley and work full time in the finance industry but write in my spare time allowing my imagination to have a whole lot of freedom as I write Chick lit novels. They’re Chick lit style with a hint of darkness. I try to create characters that are everyday women so hopefully readers can find something about their personality or lifestyle that they can relate to and fall in love with them as much as I have while writing about them. The idea behind my books is to show the challenges of everyday women trying to balance jobs/careers, with family, friends and relationships. It’s hard, and sometimes you have to laugh at yourself, which the main character, Emma, does, but I also wanted to show how important friendship is too at keeping us all sane!
