Twenty-five and counting!
Last week I celebrated the release of my 25th book baby. I’m going to be honest, I didn’t realize it was book 25 until I counted all my books for something else I was working on. I just kind of sat there stunned, thinking I had miscounted. But another round of counting came up with […]
A New Leaf #Giveaway
So I got a new desk. I didn’t mean to. It was supposed to be for my husband. I do most of my furniture shopping on Facebook Marketplace and flea markets. I’d found a white desk just like it a few months ago, but it was three hours away. So when I found this one […]
Revisiting Characters
A Texas Bond, book three in my Texas Hill Country series, officially released last week. It was inspired partly by my husband and I dabbling in flea marketing after shopping them for years. The picture I included is the booth we had full of items we created or repurposed. It was fun fitting our […]
Between Books #Giveaway
Many moons ago, we saw a movie that inspired me. In the story, a young girl’s parents were authors. On deadline, they rarely spent time with her. Until they finished. When she came home from school that day, the whole family painted a room in their house. Though I’ve always made a point to work […]
Reunion Romance by Merrillee Whren
Last month I blogged about the love triangle romance trope. This month I’m going to talk about the reunion romance trope.

The Eyes Have It # Giveaway

My latest release, The Texan’s Promise is the third book set on the fictional ranch Diamondback located on the Texas Coast. Our visits to the beach, inspired my current series […]
Making Memories #Giveaway
We took our only child, Logan to Bass Pro in Springfield for the first time when he was three. It was a big hit and since then the store has become a large part of our family memories. We’ve made the trip to Springfield twice more over the years. When we go to Texas to visit […]
Hey! What about Thanksgiving?!
Here in the US, it seems like the last wisps of smoke from the fireworks have barely begun to fade from the July sky when all the craft and hobby stores begin rolling out the fall and Christmas stuff. It never fails, immediately people begin lamenting it coming “earlier every year” and grousing about seeing […]
