Jean Meltzer Podcast Interview

Author Jean Meltzer is here to talk about her debut novel, The Matzah Ball a holiday romance!

Jean Meltzer was such a blast to speak to about her debut novel The Matzah Ball! We covered writing with chronic illness and having an MC with chronic illness. Loving Christmas as a Jewish woman, why she chose to have the romance be closed-door, how she met her husband (so cute!), and why everyone deserves a happily ever after. 

Happy Hanukkah to all celebrating!

Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt is a nice Jewish girl with a shameful secret: she loves Christmas.  This is why Rachel has created a double life as Margot Cross – a bestselling Christmas romance novelist, who weaves tales of true love under evergreen trees – until her diversity-conscious publisher throws it all into jeopardy by telling her she should write a Hannukah romance... or else!

Like her protagonist, author Jean Meltzer is a chronically-ill and disabled Jewish woman—with a penchant for Christmas festivities! This joyful #ownvoices debut, THE MATZAH BALL is a hilarious Hannukah romance about a woman attempting to write one of her own. Meltzer’s witty and entertaining enemies-to-lovers romance glows as brightly as a menorah and is threaded with the message that everyone is worthy of love—even your arch nemesis from sleepaway camp.

An irresistible page-turner that will have you falling in love almost as much as it will have you falling down laughing, Jean Meltzer’s THE MATZAH BALL is a refreshing twist on classic tropes that will make it a rom-com for the ages!
