Styles change over time. I remember when I was a little girl I had a white brocade cotton dress trimmed in yellow. I loved it. I wore it to church almost every Sunday. But soon I wanted to wear it on other days too. I imagine I pulled it out of my closet every school […]
Did I Say That Correctly?
This blog post was inspired by my husband. He was reading a library book, and some wannabe editor had written a correction to something in the book. What was that correction? This person changed “another thing coming” to “another think coming.” I have always said, “another thing coming.” There is some controversy concerning the correct […]
Cover Reveal! Love to Believe In
It’s a new year, my husband and I have moved back to our hometown and are getting settled into our new house, and I’ve got a new book on pre-order. I have shared this cover a bit on social media, but this is the first time I’ve shared it here, and I wanted to be […]
Just Because by Merrillee Whren
Have you ever used this phrase as an answer when someone asked you why you did something? Did you give this answer because you weren’t sure why or just because? Today you’re in good company because it’s Just Because Day. So how do you celebrate? Maybe you could have cake and ice cream for breakfast […]
Matchmaking Moms Approach the Starting Gate!
Back in my December InspyRomance post I described a whole new approach for writing and releasing my new series. Instead of writing a book and releasing it, I’d write the entire series (or close to it) and then use a Rapid Release approach. Starting with my birthday June 7, I’ll be releasing one book on […]
Cover Reveal and Bad Boy Trope
I’m so excited to do my first cover reveal on Inspy Romance! The cover’s not been a secret because it’s on my bookmarks for the series, but I’ve not done anything at all to promote it. Here is the cover to my upcoming release of Alexandra’s Appeal, Book 3 in the Dixon Brothers series: The […]
It’s Complicated… (interesting characters usually are) + cover reveal
If you’ve been on social media at any point in the last decade, you’ve probably noticed at least one of your “friends” with the relationship status It’s Complicated. The phrase has filtered its way into our culture in all sorts of ways—movie titles, song lyrics, book themes, mindsets. It’s complicated isn’t always a response we’d […]
God, Grammar, and a Cover Reveal
I’m the first to admit, I can be nitpicky about grammar and punctuation. I always loved spelling bees and—you’re really going to think I’m nerdy now—I can diagram a sentence with the best of them! My first job after college was as a newspaper copy editor. Imagine my surprise when my first book came back […]
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 Cover Reveal, A Series End, and A Giveaway
If all goes to plan, by the time you’re reading this, the final Peacock Hill novel should be finished. (Fun fact: all our posts here on InspyRomance are scheduled by the week prior to their posting date. This gives the admin team some sanity during the week so we aren’t biting our nails hoping that […]
