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.

Kristen, not that there's anything wrong with your blog... but I just had my redesigned and it was super inexpensive and ridiculously easy! Check out my blog -- there's a link to the designer at the top of the sidebar.
And I just finished A Girl's Best Friend (a gift from my sweet girlfriend Jeana L.) and I loved it!
I can't WAIT for conference! The four of us together in one room again. I live for that weekend. LOL We WILL find time to brainstorm, eat DeBrand mocha truffles, laugh and cry. Whoohoo!
We're going to redesign the blog, girl. I just need to find that background you wanted.
Actually, I loved your class about writing your passion at last year's ACFW confernece.
As for reading, I'm looking forward to reading on the airplane this week.
Yeah...I wasn't going to say anything about the pink...but it does help me wake up in the morning when I'm downing my first pot of coffee. Have fun in Dallas...I was really looking forward to going.:(
I love the idea of a work sabbatical, where you just read and get your creative juices flowing again! Course, truffles help with that, too.
Can't wait to see you in Dallas, Kristin!! Whoohoooo!!! It's going to be such fun!
I'm hoping to go next year. As for reading, I crawl into bed with my little one and read as she falls asleep in my bed. :) I can sometimes find time here and there, but I know I have this time each night for a little reading. ;)
I'm lucky enough to be travelling at the moment so I have developed the ability to read anywere but especially in queues... checkin queues, queues to get through airport security, queues for the bathroom, queues to drop off luggage, queues to pick up luggage, the queue for the Colosseum! I look like a geek but there's only so long you can admire scenery for - even the outside of the Colosseum loses it's captivatingness (is that even a word?) after an hour queueing to get inside!
I gave up "fasionable purse" for "book carrying purse". I usually keep a book in there so no matter where I am I can read. I'm like you too though and stay in around 3 books at a time. My Bible reading is the same way. Right now I read a chapter of Proverbs a day (corresponding with the day of the week), and I'm in Daniel and 1 Peter...unless I'm just in a worshipful mood and I read a Psalm. Maybe our brains just like variety. :)
I wish I had a good excuse to go to the conference, just to meet all of y'all (can't get the Texan out of me!) who help entertain my brain! How about a professional avid book reader? tehehe I hope you guys have a great and enjoyable trip here.
Reading books. . . I typically get 3-4 books in a week. Insomnia helps. As do 3 hours in the lobby of the dance studio and long bubble baths with a book. I'd say the 25 minute wait in the car line when it rains . . .but we haven't had much of that lately!
I can't WAIT to see all y'all again! WOO HOO
I salivated over the website for the conference for months...and then finally came to terms with the fact that there was no way I could afford to go. Sigh.
Umm...oh! Yes! Reading. I have a book in my backpack, a couple in the car, one at my aunt's house, one on my nightstand, 3 in the living room, 21093943 on my bookshelves...and I read when I get a snippet of a chance!
Can you beleive it, I was behind and had not picked up the Spa grils yet and then I bought the first one 2 weeks ago I read it in one day and then I ordered "A Girl's Best Friend" because I LOVED "She's all that" I then read the second one in a night, i just couldn't put it down. Oh i can't wait until next month, but then alas a long time with out your writings. My hubby will be happy, but I will most likely re-read for fun.
Thanks!
I should have mentioned how I generally read, I like you try to read three books at a time. I usually read one for fun (I usually dont give them the time I gave yours these past two weeks), one Theologian type book (I have a master's in Divinity and I am in active vocational ministry) and then of course the Bible. Don't tell God that He didnt get the attention he shuold when I am addicted to your books ;)
AHH! I just ordered Poppy's book and pre-ordered Split Ends. I'm SO EXCITED.
I am such a nerd.
Oh, well. Nerds are hot. Look at Kevin! :)
