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.

Great blog, Di. That first sentence is important. I usually have to go back to mine in later drafts and work on it.
My 1st sentence in my current WIP is:
Annie Stevens was sitting in the Chuckwagon, minding her own business, when he walked in.
Love it, Di. Here's mine. It's sort of two. LOL
It might be said that Daphne Sweeten lived a charmed life. That is, until her wedding day.
Great topic! Here's mine:
Libby Holladay fought her way through the brambles to the overgrown garden
Gemma hated spring, especially spring in Ohio.
Great post. Here's mine:
I've gotta get off this bus. Now.
I'll play, though I'm late:
A silver blade sliced through the curtained exam room, its target the helpless patient of Dr. Megan Bradley.
One of my favorite first sentences (though it's more than one sentence) was one I wrote for Creative Writing class in college:
When the power went out I felt alone. VERY alone. And all I could think of was that stupid question, "What's a nice girl like me doing in a dump like this?"
From my first published work:
"The words Rose Bentley was about to speak froze in her throat as she caught sight of a movement out of the corner of her eye."
