Jill Weatherholt posted last week about stepping down from the Inspy Romance blog. I am also leaving. I’ve been here from the beginning. It was a difficult decision to leave because I have enjoyed this community so much. The readers and the other authors have made this a wonderful place to share about so many […]

Another 99-Cent Sale and #Giveaway by Merrillee Whren
A couple of months ago, I had a sale on the first book in my Front Porch Promises series, A PLACE TO CALL HOME. I’m running that special price again. You can click on the title to find the buy links at all vendors. So if you haven’t already gotten the deal on this book, […]
Moon Day #Giveaway by Merrillee Whren
You may be asking why today is Moon Day. I like sharing unique and interesting holidays. On July 20, 1969, the USA put the first man on the moon. Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon’s surface with these words. “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” So July 20 has become […]
A Writer’s Journey by Merrillee Whren
For those of you who pay attention to the schedule posted on Sundays, there’s been a slight change. I have traded places with Krista Phillips. She’ll be posting in my slot next Tuesday. In the meantime, I’m going to talk about my writing journey. Here’s my writing space in one of its cleaner moments. I’ve […]
Fun and Folly in Foreign Travel by Merrillee Whren
This is the third year in a row in which my husband and I have taken a trip overseas, this time to Spain and Portugal with a day-trip to Morocco thrown in. The flight from Boston to London Heathrow begins with a cool photo from the plane. I’m going to share some of the fun […]
The Black Moment by Merrillee Whren
Although I wrote this a few days ahead of when you will actually read it, this will post on Saturday, the day before Easter. As part of our stories’ plots, we writers have what we call the “black moment.” This is the place in the story when everything the protagonist has been working for is lost. It’s the point […]
Making of Book Covers Part 2 by Merrillee Whren
Nearly two years ago, I wrote a blog post about the process involved in creating some of the covers for my books. I talked about my traditionally published books and the first two books in my indie series, Front Porch Promises. Here are the first three books in the series. Each book cover features a […]
National Banana Bread Day by Merrillee Whren
Today is National Banana Bread Day in the USA, but you can celebrate wherever you are. I love to find out about quirky holidays, especially when they involve food. Bananas were first introduced in the United States in the 1870’s, but a good number of years would pass before they were included in desserts. Banana […]
National Pie Day by Merrillee Whren
Today is National Pie Day. Here’s a photo of a blueberry pie that I made a couple of years ago. Whenever blueberries are on sale, I manage to bake a blueberry pie. It’s one of my favorite kind of pies. I’ve often been known to eat a piece of pie for breakfast along with a […]

I live in the sunny, warm, and sometimes very hot part of Arizona, but there is snow on the mountain, not far away. This year we are headed to Boston for Christmas so we will be with out granddaughters as they visit their dad’s family who live in the Boston area. It’s supposed to be […]
