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.

I know the feeling! My four boys (16-10) all went back to school last week and I couldn't believe how silent it was. I never have just my four, I usually have at least 10 boys running around my house, up and down three flights of stairs. I have gotten more reading and writing done in the last week compared to all summer.
I love them home and excited when May hits, but by mid-July they are ready to hit the books and I am ready for a clean house and a little more of a schedule!
Enjoy the quiet, D! Just remember, before you can blink, it will be all too quiet. (Unless you get an indoor dog.) :-)
Ah, how wonderful, D! Enjoy!
Me, too, Denise. But it's time to turn on the vacuum! :-)
Yes, Tonya and Diann, I do enjoy the summer with the boys. I also enjoy the quiet of the school year. :-)
Beverly, at least the clean will last all day! Imagine!
Oh, I can't stand the sound of the Xbox! Drives me crazy. Thank goodness for my bedroom or writing nook. :-)
With my in-home childcare program, it's *never* quiet here. When I'm done at 4:30, the noise level drops at our house, so we relish it. Soon our oldest will be off to college, so our younger son will have no one to fight with. When he leaves the sounds I'll miss most are "love you, mom" and the Zelda theme song that plays when he gets a text message. It's become part of him.
Enjoy your serenity!! I'm jealous. :)
Denise,
Hey, you're RIGHT!!! That kind of makes my day! Thanks!!!
Silence is probably one of life's greatest gifts. Enjoy!
My children are grown, one raising a wonderful family, the other fellowshiping with Jesus at the banquet table. The grandkids live far away, the house is too quiet.
I remember the activities of summer, the sadness when they went to school the first day. Yet, life brings changes and Jesus gives me strength.
Thanks so much for sharing your 'end of the summer' stories. What memories they bring back!
