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.

Brinkley, right? (The dog's name...)
Yeah, I'm with you. I don't have a memory for sports stuff, but with movies and other trivia.... Look out! I know all of Joe Jr.'s lines in "While You Were Sleeping," for example. Or all of Billy Crystal's lines in "Princess Bride..." (My family thinks that's a really dumb claim to fame.)
I'm totally with you! Men have a different gene for that stuff. LOL
Brinkley......LOL
And, I like football, but couldn't tell you much of anything about a game I watched a day ago let alone years ago!
Blessings

Ah, good, I'm not alone. And yes, the dog is Brinkley. :-) I wanna watch the movie again now.
Okay, before I write any more I will admit that I was a huge tomboy growing up. I don't remember all the plays in games that I have seen, but there are some that really stand out in my mind. It is the same for me with basketball and baseball.
That said, I also remember all sorts of crazy things from movies like Brinley's name.
I remember the emotion associated with sporting events (and I was a coach, plus I played sports!)But like you, I see it totally different than guys. And like you, I am around a lot of guys.
When I was competing in world class trapshooting, most of my fellow shooters were men (and boys, but a few women.) They would sit around back at camp talking over how the 25th bird out went hard right and just how they knicked it on the edge...I could not recall even the last bird I shot at. (and these are clay birds/disks not REAL birds...)
But I would remember every nuance/glance/comment of the scorekeeper, the man shooting station 3 or the guy who was following me to the next trap. I have stories, too, but they are definitely different than my trapshooter buddies!
I have a book called "Don't check your brains at the door" by Josh McDowell... this post reminded me of a discussion on page 156:
~Jocks: The stereotypical jock can perform pirouettes on the playing field, memorize mammoth playbooks, and cite statistics like a computer. Remove him from the field, though, and he appears to have the intelligence of a doorknob.~
Men can remember individual plays (and all the stats of the players) of games watched AGES ago, and can't remember that just yesterday you asked them to do some "honey-do" on the list. Women have other bits of memory. We can remember the names of all the cousins' children, with birthdays, ages and favorite color.
It has to do with the great differences that God built in us. Still makes it irritating to be left out of a nice dinner conversation. :-)
