Biography

After spending over thirty five years in education I discovered my love for writing and decided that it was time to retire to create my own magical beach city. Modeled after Redondo Beach, California, where I grew up - I’ve had a super time introducing readers to the Merriman community. A family of witches filled with love, magic and never ending adventure, these three sisters and their extended family members are constantly running into one paranormal problem after another.
My latest book, Murder By Magic, is my first attempt at writing a cozy mystery and I hope that you find as much enjoyment reading it as I did writing it. Feel free to stop by my website where you can see my other books and learn about my love for sewing and traveling. I even included a picture of me and one of my troll friends that I met on my recent trip to Bergen, Norway. www.meriamwilhelm.com
I hope that you find your own magic soon...until then, you can borrow mine!

Smashwords Interview

What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
I am blessed with a really wonderful life, but I wasn't always sure it would be that way. About 25 years ago, I was diagnosed with MS. I'd only been married a few years, my kids were all small, I had a full time job that I loved and I was terrified that I was going to lose it all. I made a promise to myself that everyday, as soon as I woke up and my feet touched the floor, I would say thank you for being able to walk to the shower. Fortunately, after the early episodes of the disease, the MS went into remission and I have had no further occurrences. I continue to be grateful each and every day. Every day is a new challenge, a new opportunity to live life, to tell my husband and kids that I love them and to enjoy the simple pleasure of walking on the beach.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
When I am not writing, you will find me either walking on the beach or in a fabric store in search of the right fabric to finish off a quilt or two. My husband and I recently retired and we have been doing quite a bit of traveling. We started off with a trip to New England. Having read many historical novels about the Boston and Salem areas, I enjoyed walking the streets and visiting all of the historical sites. I always have a book tucked in my purse as I am an avid reader and love reading mysteries, historical romances and anything on mediums and witches. More recently we've just returned from a trip to Alaska and will spend some time in Florida as well as Palm Springs. Everywhere we go I take pictures - some of which you can find on my website www.meriamwilhelm.com. When we are not traveling, we have 3 great kids who have grown into wonderful adults with interesting lives of their own. We love spending time with each of them.
