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.

It is beautiful and if makes me think historical. I love the colors.
I love the colors - it makes me think contemporary because of the girl's clothing. It makes me wonder if she's a runaway to an Amish community for discreet safety in a quiet group of people. Not sure though. Do we really have to wait until 2008???
For sixty bucks, I think Hugh Jackman should come and HOLD me into the dress, thank you very much.
I think the cover is very beautiful as well.
Like Jamie said because of the way she look's her hair and clothing it makes me also think contemporary.
It makes me think is she homesick?
Maybe an outcast in the Amish community for not wanting to join the church? Or wanting to merry outside the Amish community?.......
I like this game I could go on and on. ha,ha......
Oh, wow! Congrats to Kara! That's so awesome. I take that Hawai'i comment to mean they may get married here? :)
I love the cover. Very cool. Can't wait to read it.
Beautiful cover! I look forward to reading it.
Congratulations about your daughter's engagement! A double-win night for you. :-)
Yep, Hawaiian wedding, Malia! We'll make sure you're invited. Kara just loves you.
Glad you all like the cover! I'll tell you when it's set after everyone weighs in.
Only you would like Hugh Jackman that much, Kristin. LOL
I love the cover, but as I thought about the contemporary/historical angle, there really is nothing that lets the reader know that it's contemporary and suspense. The colors are kind of suspensy. Could they add a car chasing the buggy? Or something that's clearly from the 21st century?
I really like the cover a LOT, but I thought the name was Ama Thema (a girl's name) because the typeset for the "m" and the "t" were a little confusing. I couldn't tell when it was set, but it looked like a book I'd pick up. OOOooo! Can't wait!
Congrats to your daughter! What a wonderful addition to an already terrific night, huh?
The cover . . .the horse/buggy and colors made me think historical, the gal made me think contemporary.
my first impression is Amish because of the funky little carriage.
The sepia color makes it look historical, though. But I am ALWAYS drawn to sepia covers.
Hi Colleen! The cover definitely screams historical to me.
Oh, and a Hawaiian wedding! How fun is that. Love it (try to resist doing research while you're there, lol)
You know I love the cover, especially the young woman. She's stunning. However, I do see what Cara is saying, there really isn't anything to lend to the contemporary/suspense theme. :-/ But again, it's gorgeous...and I actually love the font.
about the SPANX..
I just thought of a time I told My mother..
"Why do the undergarment's to flatten the bum cost more
than the undergarment's that are patted to enhances a bum?"
LOL...
I hope I'm not too late to weigh in about the cover. At first glance I immediately thought historical, but was confused because you haven't written historicals in a long while. Then I looked again and realized the girl looks contemporary. Is it one of those "flashback" kind of stories that toggles between the past and present?
Thanks so much for all your comments! It's an Amish suspense. I think we might need to tweak it a bit so it doesn't look historical.
Hilarious Anne Marie! And so true. Those Spanx were very expensive and not worth the cost.
I immediately knew it was Amish or Mennonite, but the girl is very modern.
Yep, C.J., the girl is supposed to be modern. She's not Amish anymore but has to go back to discover some secrets from the past.
I LOVE the cover! It makes me think "historical" and I had to double check that it was indeed your name on the cover. ;-)
The cover is beautiful. It looks historical by the colors and the horses, but the girls attitude and clothing is completely contemporary.
Maybe its both? (Like Francine River's The Scarlet Thread)
I like the cover.
I think it would be a contemporary book based only on the girl's outfit.
The images at the bottom cause me to wonder if she is somehnow involved with the Amish or some sort of isolated farming community.
The look on the girl's face draws me in.
I like the cover, but I'm biased. I read the story before I saw the cover, so HYSTERICAL never crossed my mind! LOL
Okay, the cover looks like a book I would definitely buy - love it! But I thought historical, of course if it is Amish related at all then my mother-in-law will have to have a copy so that is 2 sold already - 1 for me and 1 for her :-)
