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 feel so much better now. I've been battling fighting kids all day.
What is it these days with fighting kids? My kids did too but I don't remember much fighting at all when I was growing up, not even among my three brothers. Of course we were outside most of the day with the horses, ponies, pigs and chickens. And we had a treehouse that was fabulous.
Did you all fight with your siblings?
I just took our oldest son to camp for the summer where he'll be a lifeguard until the middle of August. No mouthiness!! Yay!
I'm used to daily bickering among my daycare kids, so summertime gives me a slight reprieve when my boys are available to give me a hand.
ANNOYING DRONE? LIGHT SABER? That thing rocks. But alas, even my son's "stormtrooper" blaster can be a tad bothersome when trying to write.
My brother and I rarely fought, Colleen, but his way of handling tension was to just ignore me. I think, looking back, I'd prefer the fighting and a little bit more attention! :) LOL
I don't have kids so you can come to my house Denise and I'll take your kids bowling for you. :) LOL
Just might cost you a plan ticket to WI but that's minor, right? :)
Man - I SOOO empathize with this. Son AND Husband (both grown men!) are home around here since April. The ONLY peace and quiet I get is in the bathroom! I'm thinking of setting up a table in there for my bathroom!
My family is going camping for two days!! WOOOHOOO!! (In case it isn't obvious, I don't camp) So I'm home for two days ALONE and I'm writing, writing, writing -- maybe watching a little HGTV. : )
I am so glad God waited until my kids were grown to give me the call to write. It's bad enough with a 130 puppy who comes into my office and barks in my ear when he wants to play. At least I don't feel guily when I send him out. At least not too much.
C, most siblings argue. They didn't coin the term sibling rivalry for nothing. I had one sister I never fought with though.
Maybe it's because I had all brothers, D. LOL I was the oldest so they did what I told them.
THANK YOU!!! Now I know it's not just something wrong with me. I'm home all day, every day with my two preschool boys, and now that it's summer the oldest two are home all day too. Even when it's just the little boys, it's so hard to find time to write.
I'm willing the summer to pass quickly. DH is deployed and comes home in September or October! Maybe I can carve out a moment's peace when I'm not single parenting.
:)
Have to ROFL over sibling arguing. My sister and I used to fight over washclothes! I would think she'd stolen my washcloth and would go on a rampage. As adults, we've decided my mom actually took them off the racks and washed them. {snort}
About six months ago, I came across my 2 dds fighting over a bath towel. . . yep, they'd skipped right over the face clothes and gone straight to the towel {grin}
I love what you said at the end of your post.
Your Kids come before your work.
"Who wants to go bowling!"
That is a wonderful way to look at it. :) Blessing.
