<p>Twenty years ago, Merri Maywether went on a date with a very sweet man from Montana. Three weeks later they were engaged and they have lived happily ever after. </p><p></p><p>When I write my romance novels, the characters are the people that I see on a day to day basis. Up here in what I like to call the far, far north, people work hard, live fiercely, and love knowing that they have a community of people behind them to celebrate the victories and support them through the hardships. </p><p>The best part...similar to the characters in my stories, we all work together to make every day a happily ever after.</p>
