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.

Glad Dave is doing well!
I love how everything is fodder for writing. The least little thing that may not mean anything to me at the time may pop up later in a book. Such fun!
Ganglia are so weird, aren't they? I got rid of one I had by smashing my wrist on the table. Sounds strange, but it really worked. LOL. (I'll go to great extremes not to go to the hospital.)
Hospital drugs. Wow. Nate has some doozy stories of me on drugs. More specifically the time they upped my Vicadin (which may as well be illegal when it concerns me because it's so heavenly addictive! LOL):
Jaime: I need more vicadin
nurse: ok
Jaime 5 min later w/ goofy grin:
I love drugs. Drugs make me happy. I don't know why more people take drugs. If more people took drugs, there'd be more happy people in the world.
Nurse to Nate: she's scary
Nate: Yup
Scene #2 on Vicadin:
*Nate's phone starts vibrating. Jaime sits up in bed looking around wildly*
Jaime: WHERE'S THE CAT?
Nate: What?
Jaime: The CAT! There's a HISSING cat!
Nate: No, hon, it's just my phone.
Jaime: It's a cat! It's hissing! They shouldn't let hissing cats in the hospital!
Scene #3 (and I'll spare you any more bc they're politically incorrect :)
Jaime: What's that music?
Nate: It's music on the speakers
Jaime: Yeah, but what is it?
Nate: Flute music. It's meant to soothe you.
Jaime (REALLY loudly): I hate it. IT SUCKS!!
Oh my ...
Hi Colleen --
So glad to hear Dave go through his surgery and you didn't have to go to the ER with an emergency!
Years and years ago, I had a procedure and remembered later that I had gone on and on about how handsome the doctor was and how all my friends had listened as I shared his attributes. Mortified, I just pretended the next time I saw him that I didn't remember one word.
I noticed him trying not to smile as I was in for the followup but decided playing dumb was better than admitting I remembered. Well, I wasn't really myself while under the influence...

So glad things worked for Dave, Colleen. I pray he heals quickly. I'm always coming up with ideas for new books...unfortunately, it's too tempting to try a little of everything.
Oh, and the drugs? Yeah...that morphine is a life saver. Literally.
As I read the comments, I remember some embarrassing moments in the recovery room when (under the influence) I wouldn't take a "no" but made my husband and best friend sing "There Ain't No Bugs on Me." Apparently I was singing loudly as I led this forced-sing-along. Oh, my!
Hope Dave is doing well.
glad that your "dh" did good with his surgery.
I love reading and awe the way writers come up the stories, y'all do! :)
have a great day!
LOL That Christmas list could be verrrrry interesting if he has some lingering effects from his "cocktail." Snicker.
I always find interesting things to use in a book, but most of the time they're for my suspense writing friends. :)
I got one the other day, though. The problem is .. now I can't remember it. LOL I will though - when a time comes to use it. It'll resurface. I hope.
So glad Dave is doing well. Such a funny tidbit about the Frito Bandito!
Fodder for stories is everywhere!!
Love, R
Jaime, too, too funny! That's book stuff right there!
Pam, you are THE MAN! LOL And that story about the singing--I just might have to hurt you. Now I have the song running through my head when I'm trying to edit! LOL
Cheri, I'm laughing at your story. That might have to make its way into a book. :-) Hilarious! I'm sure it didn't seem so to you and the doctor. LOL
Jaime, knowing you, I can just picture this scene. :-)
Cheryl, I hate morphine! I refuse to take anything strong after surgery. I don't like to not have control and I'm fighting the effects of the drug so much it leaves me with no resources to fight the pain! Weird, I know!
Hi Colleen!
Well, the handsome doctor was probably one of my most embarrassing moments, but I look forward to finding this in one of your new books, lol. I have chuckled many times thinking about the amused "wonder if you remember" look on this face at that followup appointment.
Morphine can cause agitation -- does with me, so next time you might have them try something different if you need it. It is an very uncomfortable feeling!

Colleen, blessings on you and Dave!
I have a question.....hope this is right place to ask. I have read ALL your books. My former church library (I moved away) still depends on me for info...they just asked about Fire Dancer.....mentioned to be a series (Smoker Jumper).....is there another book in that series. We are confused so would appreciate your answer. Thanks.
