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.

Oh! I had a "Mrs. Caldwell" too, Denise! She was probably in her late 60s and had a reputation as a real "witch with a b." Sadly, I never appreciated the things she taught me until it was almost too late. But before she died at the age of 90-something, I had an opportunity to visit her in the assisted-living center, and thank her for the wonderful lessons she imparted - skills I now use every single day of my life! Here's to all the unsung "Mrs. Caldwells" and "Mrs. Kohrses" of the world!
AAAACK! I came in here to read something light and fun and got hit in the face with a jr. high nightmare....diagraming sentences for fun? The only thing worse than diagramaing sentences (for me) was being forced to play volleyball in gym class.
Someone give that girl some chocolate...
Sometimes being a teacher can be so thankless. My wife often is asked to do things above and beyond her job description. Students whose families are too poor to have cars ask her for rides to and from work at all hours and then they never even thank her. It's nice to see a post like this.
Sorry, Suzanne! Take two truffles and call me in the morning.
Deb, glad you had a "Mrs. Caldwell" too. How wonderful that you got to thank her in person.
Allen, I can only imagine how thankless a job it is. Kristi's got a great heart.
Ahh, some teachers are amazing. Dr. Schray was my Mrs. Caldwell. She was known as being very sweet but her class was HARD. However, I came out of it loving medieval literature and joking around in Old and Middle English for fun. The life of a nerd appears to be sad but is actually quite fun.
I wonder if teachers realize how much they change their students' lives? There are several Mrs. Caldwells in my life. They sure don't make enough money for what they do!
I loved diagramming sentences too, D. LOL
Colleen, diagramming sentences drove me crazy because I loved to add commas all over the place and those little ... dot-dot-dot's for dramatic pauses. It didn't go over so well! LOL
My mom was my teacher; I was homeschooled. So, I'm slightly partial. But, I also was taught a lot of the joy of eating up literature by a retired schoolteacher in her seventies who would have me over for a weekend when I was in my teens just to discuss books. And she'd make sure she read all the ones I read just so we could talk fiction. Sweet memories. Thanks, Denise for helping me take a moment to think back ... ;)
