Last month I blogged about the love triangle romance trope. This month I’m going to talk about the reunion romance trope. In a reunion romance, the hero and heroine have a history, and most likely the history has some heartache involved. Why didn’t they wind up together in the first place? Can they mend a […]

Love Triangles by Merrillee Whren
Tropes are a big part of romance novels and romantic movies. One trope is the the love triangle. I enjoy watching the romance movies on Hallmark, and often there is a love triangle in the story. Right from the beginning you know which one the hero or heroine will choose. Most of the stories have […]

A New Beginning by Merrillee Whren
Last month I talked about a letter I had written to myself that contained goals. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had accomplished all five things on the list. One of the things on the list was to request my rights back for one of my Love Inspired books, Montana Match. A week […]
A Letter to Yourself by Merrillee Whren

I’ve never done anything like that probably because I tend to be long-winded and can’t tell a story in 800 words. However, I listened with interest. Was it something I could do? I decided I should give it […]

The End of a Series by Merrillee Whren
Writing a blog post can sometimes be challenging, almost as challenging as writing a book, at least for me. This post has had three different titles, because I wasn’t sure how to categorize what I planned to write about. Since I’m winding up a series of books, I thought the title I chose might cover […]

Yesterday was Pentecost, and today is Pentecost Monday. Pentecost is celebrated fifty days after Easter. Pentecost comes from the Greek word pentếkosta, which means fiftieth […]
