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 exactly what you mean (at least I think I do) about this! Only my husband and I didn't marry until 5 years after HS.
And I loved the Monkees, too! I loved Micky, too. LOL. Our family's band now plays music from my youth. It keeps us young. LOL.
Ahhh Colleen,
I knew we are close, but this could be a deal breaker:o)
Mickey was MY man!! LOL. I was also in "love" with Mark Lindsey of Paul Revere and the Raiders! WOW, it was a long time ago, but in my head only yesterday.
Have a great day, and hopefully I will get to see you in August.
Wow! This picture brought a smile to my face. I have the television series on DVD, just for the memories. And I also loved Paul Revere and the Raiders! And Mickey was my favorite, too. What great memories. Thanks, Colleen! I had my 35 year class reunion a couple of years ago, and it was such fun. I was a wild child back then, and though many of my classmates knew I had changed my ways and went on to write Christian fiction, many did not. Imagine their surprise when I was asked to lead in the blessing over the meal. I'm sure eyes popped.
LOL, Mare! I didn't realize you were a Micky fan too. Oh and Paul Revere and the Raiders! I had tickets to go see them when I was 14 then ended up in the hospital with a ruptured ovary. Would you believe Herman's Hermits are coming to Wabash? If it's when you come home, let''s go!
I can't believe all of you liked Micky since most everyone I knew loved Davy. LOL
I liked Peter, Paul and Mary, The Mamas and the Papas, Joan Baez, Judy Collins...etc. Folk musicians. Sure, I liked the Monkees, the Beatles, The Turtles, The Fifth Dimension, too ...but I liked folk music better. Weird, I know. :)
My 40th is next year. I've been going back and forth about whether I'll attend the reunion or not. My HS class was big (869)--and I only keep up with one classmate. Maybe I should just get together with her. :) You are fortunate that you still know and have relationships with your former classmates.
Seeing as how my 45th is coming up before too terribly long, I can relate to all that you are saying except for the fact that I am jealous that you will be at your desired weight by reunion day - oh, to be able to reach that goal! Congrats to you on achieving it.
For me, it was the Four Seasons. No other group could compare. We took my daughter to see the Beach Boys last month at Honeywell Center and they were better than ever - still singing the same songs but oh so smooth in their delivery. The maturity of their voices just made them that much better. It was a great night that brought back a lot of good memories.
Did you see Herman's Hermits will be at the Honeywell Center, Jan? I'm sooo tempted to go! LOL
Pam, I LOVED folk music too! Peter, Paul, and Mary. The Mamas and the Papas. Ahhhh!
Mama Cass had an unbeatable voice.
I know exactly what you mean! And I graduated a couple of years ahead of you ... all right 5 years ahead. I was a child genius. Uh huh. ;)Seriously, it doesn't FEEL like that long ago, until my hip start acting up. ;)
You know what I noticed at my 25th reunion? The gals still looked the same, on'y a bit older. But the guys! I could hardly recognize any of them! Let us know if you find that at your 40th, Colleen!
Yes, I saw that, Colleen, but I forget when it was going to be. I doubt that I could convince my hubby to go to that one with me and my daughter is now living in France, so I probably won't get to see them. You should go - it would be a nice break for you.
I got the theme song to the show of the monkeys stuck in my head now! Davy was the cute too me :)
I my not have graduated until 1979, but I was blessed with parents who "subjected" me to a wide range of music so I grew up with an appreciation (I felt) for all types of music. But Davey Jones was my fav! My sisters and I loved to listen to Bobby Sherman, the Osmonds, as well as several of the bands and singers from the 50's & 60's. There was a mixture of Country & Western (from Dad) thrown in there - Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, Wayne Newton, to name a few. I even listened to some Big Band music, along with Jazz, and Classical - to me, the best of all worlds. And of course, we can't forget Elvis!

Oh, Colleen, I received your newsletter today and enjoyed reading it. Congratulations on being a finalist! The recipe you included sounded wonderful ~
Thanks,
Beverly
Wow. This takes me back. My 40th reunion is this year also. Unfortunately I won't be able to go.
My favorites were Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees and I loved Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere & the Raiders. They were at Disneyland for our Grad Nite celebration. It was AWESOME. I also love the Bee Gees and Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. I am a sucker for good close harmony. I have to save I also loved The Lettermen.
Thanks for triggering such fond memories.
You all have a blessed day!
Smiles & Blessings,
Cindy W
