Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

i love josh groban and jump5! :)
john grisham thrillers and sappy romance novels...
i only drink good expresso (not that instant rubbish) but am quite happy to drink post-mix coke.
i hate cleaning the house yet i'll do that wwaaauyyy before i even THINK about the assignment i have due the next day (hence, today, i have a spotless and totally organised house and no essay written... and hey i'm reading blogs gee i'm good).
i also am good at organising others, and terrible at organising my own life.
ok i could think of some more that are better contrasts, but yeah really should get onto that essay. anyone volunteer to write it for me?
I love "Are You Lonely Tonight?" (Elvis) and "How Great Thou Art."
I love Renoir and modern art.
I love traditional furniture with a clean-lined piece thrown in here and there.
I love coordinating fabrics in my decor with a zebra print (or other animal print) thrown in for good measure.
I love walks on the beach in shorts and flip flops (like we did Sunday evening), and I love to dress up in after-five attire and attend banquets and such.
Looking at my bookshelves, I love biographies and novels. Poetry and how-tos.
I'm so incongruous. And loving it.
Tapioca is fattening?!?!?!?! I'm so depressed.
I love clearance racks and expensive clothes. I will rarely spend more than $10 on any clothing item, yet I perpetually shop at the high dollar stores.
I love flip-flops and high heels.
I love dark chocolate but won't even bother to swallow milk chocolate.
I read chick-lit and the classics (oh, and Torn birds--groan--so good.)
Love big band, and jazz, and eighties music...and just about every thing else.
If I don't have an opinion, I will make it on the spot. Often mid sentence. Gets kind of embarasing.
I love Catholic rap (http://www.catholic-rap.com/ and http://www.phatmass.com/music/hip-hop.php) but hate other kinds of rap.
I love living in Baton Rouge (most of the time) but hate seafood.
I write Christian romance AND fantasy.
Two of my favorite movies are Housesitter with Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin (A great romance - I can point out all the "formula" parts) AND Die Hard.
I hate housework and love to entertain.
I have a Scandinavian daughter and a African-American son.
Great topic Kristin! I love reading Sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, thrillers and historical romances.
I love listening to Public Radio that plays lots of classical and opera but I'll also turn on the pop stations to listen to rap.
I am happiest in shorts, tank tops and slippers (daily attire), but give me the chance and I love getting my hair and makeup done and dressing up for formal events.
I love the beach but hate what the salt water does to my hair. If I want to swim I go to the pool.
I love fancy (and fattening) desserts when I go out to eat but at my favorite steakhouse I skip all their great desserts in favor of the fresh pineapple at the salad bar.
I hate exercising in a non air conditioned environment but I will happily run after a tennis ball at noon in the summer for three hours.
I love living in Hawaii but I hate the extreme heat in the summer. I'll practically live in my air conditioned bedroom for three months in the afternoons until it cools off at night.
There's a lot more I could say but I think those are the highlights. :)
Wow - I was just in the bathroom (washing my hands!) thinking about this very subject and then came and read it! Go figure...
I was thinking about a Corporate Work Conference I went to today and wondered how many of the plastic, botoxed women there had their husbands whiskers in the bathroom sink and hair spray residue from that morning's primping yet to be scrubbed away? or if their bathrooms were as Barbie-doll-clean as they are...
Me?
What you see =
Land's End clone (work clothes for cellular company in which I manage are all from there. Blah.)
What you get =
outdoor sports Patagonia clad girl with an invisible nose piercing bc her husband would deny he knows her if she seriously pierced it
What you see =
Extroverted humorist who totally relates in conversation to off the wall, rock climbing, xtreme sports people
What you get =
I wouldn't hop off a log 5" inches about the ground. I am a athletic failure and a freaked out mess when it comes to risk
What you see =
A 29 yr. old
What you get =
A 15 yr. old stuck in a 29 yr. old body.
I love sci-fi action and adventure and fantasy. And Broadway/Hollywood muscials!
I like creating my own alien species and worlds. But feel wierd around trekkies and starwars geeks. ;)
I'm a guy, but actually went to a blog called "Girls Write Out".
Fun stuff ladies! I shall vacate the premises. ;)
I love bombs, guns, explosions, and action and most of my friends are guys...but I melt all over the couch watching a Cary Grant movie. (Don't tell the guys!) Oh, and I love shoes. Especially strappy high heels. The higher the better. And yet I hate painting my toenails.
I love to read Ted Dekker thrillers...but I also read chick-lit and ALL of the Love Inspired books (again, don't tell the guys!) since my aunt gets them all.
I read Dee Henderson books. Those are a dichotomy right there. Suspense and killers and a romance plopped right in the midst of it!
Yay, another Barry Manilow fan! (Thanks for helping me admit that.)
Just wrote on my blog about the time the mgr. of my former bank called to tell me I had FOUR different signatures on file. Hey, I told them, they're all me. Just different facets, ya know?
Btw, LOVE diamonds and denim. But doesn't everybody? :-)
I absolutely LOVED "Under the Greenwood Tree" Sunday night, it was terrific! I dedicated a whole blog to it...I suppose one contrast in my lift would be loving Masterpiece Theatre and Star Wars...LOL.
oh wow.... here's me:
tv: I love Alias and Lost, but also Masterpiece Theatre and American Idol and all other reality tv (Wives and Daughters in 2002 i think is my fav Masterpiece Theatre)
movies: Random Harvest (oldie with Greer Garson) and True Lies (action with Arnold the Governator)
Music: Bach and Ben Folds Five and John Reuben and Broadway
Starbucks Orange Mocha Frappuccinos and yet I will drink pastor's coffee in the mini kitchen at the church where I work...
Romance novels and John Grisham
I've had straight hair for 21 years...and just got a perm (I was born to have curls...why didn't God give them to me??)
I love Ruth's Chris steaks and Steak and Shake
hahaha..... it's so weird how we change... i mean, i'm only 21 and I have my whole life in front of me and yet, i can look over the past 4 years of college and see how much I've changed in just that short amount of time. I can't imagine who I'll be 20 years from now! :-)
online i am outgoing and friendly, but in reality i am so shy and quiet, with only two friends!
punctuation should be perfect in a manuscript, but on my blog - the more creative, the better!
ten years ago i held my daughter's hand as i stood in line at the food bank. today, God's blessings are more abundant that we could ever - EVER - have dreamed. He is so good!
