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.

oh yay! i've been waiting for this book for AGES. i remember when it was supposed to come out and then didn't. and i was sad. but now i am happy again!
You all are going to LOVE this book! It's got a great balance of humor and deeper issues. It's the perfect blend. :)
All I care about is the story. I don't read a book because I think it will be funny or because I think it will be serious. I enjoy either funny or serious, but if that is the only selling point then I wouldn't buy it.
the book not coming out in paper form ? that's just sad. :(
I like a book with a little bit of all them roll in to one .
I love when books make me laugh!
I thoroughly enjoy books that make me smile and chuckle. I would like to write books on the lighter side but God keeps giving me serious topics. I hope I can find a way to lighten them up without losing the important stuff. :)
Diane, I have the opposite problem. The first time I tried to write devotionals, they all sounded like Erma Bombeck (back before they had the lighthearted devotionals). LOL
I wouldn't knock that Erma Bombeck thing, Di. It worked out pretty well for her. ;)
I think the key is to write the story without trying to contrive funny situations. You'll be funny anyway, but it won't be forced. I LOVE your sense of humor!
I have to say that I love humor in books. I have enough drama in my life, and when I go to a book, I want to get some relief from that. As well, I have found that the humor a character is able to have during a difficult situation often enables me to find humor in my own difficulties. And now that I think about it, I would have never picked up a more serious natured book during my chemo, and thus would not have had the blessing of getting to know you from a distance. Yet, your writing was helpful to me in that very book.
I hope you are not feeling that writing humor is "less than"...sort of like how in some churches a youth minister is sometimes thought of just using this time of ministry as a stepping stone to the "real thing." (NOT!)
I think you are a great author, and wherever the Lord leads is where you need to go, of course! But having read some kindle "cheapies" because of the price...I feel I can stand solidly and encourage you to keep on excelling at what you do, because you do a great job at it!
Love you,
Beverly
Oh, Diann, I can't wait! How wonderful! I don't buy book for the humor or the drama, but for a good combination of both. It takes a particular kind of writer to draw me, and you're one of those writers. It's interesting that the people I really like turn out to be the people I really like to read, and it's the writer who draws me in. Her style, her insights, her take on life.
From you I want the humor. It's what made me fall in love with your writing.
I like both. I think humor though can really mask some hard issues. You do that so well, I never feel depressed. I'm excited for this book!
Diann! Can't wait to read this book. And here's the deal with you, my friend: If you write it, I'm gonna read it. Your heart comes through in everything you write, and that's what endears me most to your stories.
is your book just coming out in
e-form only ????
Both are great! I'll look forward to checking your latest book out.
Congrats on your book, Di! I love the cover! I like both kinds of books, but think the very best books combine the two in one story. Just like real life.
I like a bit of humor in my books and in my movies too. It can be serious, romantic or whatever but with just a bit of a chuckle now and then to release tension. To be honest though, I don't always see the humor on the written page unless it knocks me in the face. LOL It's easier to see on the screen.
I love humor in your novels, diann...on the other hand, I know that I will enjoy anything that you write :)

I have LOVED your humorous books but I'm pretty sure that I'll like anything you write! Like Jel, I'm curious as to whether it'll come out in paper also... still haven't made the jump to kindles, etc. :)
Sure hope you're feeling better! Oh! And on a side note, I just found your books written under "Diann Walker"! My library only has "A Match Made in Bliss" but I really enjoyed it. :)
Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!
This book will be available as an e-book only. Sorry for those of you who don't have an e-reader. It may come out later in paper form, not sure yet.
