We mentioned that we are working on a new book together. It's four novellas but it's going to be structured as one whole book that's tied together though with the first four of us writing it. The fun thing about it is that we are using our own personalities so it's easy for us to write one another's characters. Labels: Smitten, Winnie the Pooh

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'm afraid I'm an Eeyore, too. It's always a struggle to look on the bright side of things. I can bring down rain clouds with just a look! And I'm a fan of Eeyore, too. To me, he is the most human of the characters (other than Christopher Robin, of course) because he really tries to be good and normal and happy, yet seems to have bad things happen anyway. If it weren't for his friends helping him out, poor Eeyore would be in BIG trouble! What would we do without our friends??
Is it possible to be two of the characters at the same time? I'm Piglet and Tigger. My husband is Christopher Robin / Kanga, my daughter is Eeyore / Gopher ("I'm not in the book!").
I'm very excited to hear that you're writing the novellas together. How fun is that!?! Yay!
I've always thought it was interesting how the characters from Winnie the Pooh are from every personality type. I think there should be a study on that, I mean, it's way more relatable than Meyers/Briggs.
Me? I sometimes feel like I'm the princess from The Princess and the Pea. If my sleeping accommodations aren't just so then I'm in for a miserable nights sleep. It's very tiresome, in more ways than one.
It's all about perspective, which is why our stories will be different. I don't see Denise as Eeyore. I see her as Mary Tyler Moore: the beautiful, sane one --surrounded by the crazies. I see Di as Lucy, going after what she wants with zeal and not understanding the outcome, but having a good laugh over it. I'm Ethel. I'll go there with her, but I didn't think of it. I think Colleen is Julie from the Love Boat. She's got her clipboard, knows what's going on and she's ready to tell everyone where they're supposed to be.
Kristin, your characterization of us is hilarious! Though I see Denise as Julie with the clipboard. Colleen is totally Tigger. I see you, K, as the fun shopaholic character (but you're much more fiscally responsible!), and I see myself as the wild and crazy nun on Sister Act.
It's fun and very interesting to see and hear other people's perspectives of us.
girls, you're missing what I was doing here. LOL I could have jumped around from story to story but I was fitting us all into Pooh characters. LOL
Oh and D herself says she's Eeyore. LOL That's why I even thought of using Winnie the Pooh characters. LOL
No no no, C! Kevin calls me Eeyore. I see myself as a realist not a pessimist.
LOL Denise! I've never heard Kevin say it, only you. ALL pessimists call themselves realists. LOL!
I'm Tinker Belle, flying from one thing to another. ;)
And I'm with Di on Christmas music. :D
I can totally see that, Ane! LOL
I see D as a realist, not a pessimist. Pessimists are hard to be around. Denise is just the voice of reason.
I don't really see her as a pessimist either. But she's often called herself Eeyore so it was fun to play on Pooh for us. LOL And to tease her.
