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 can't keep up, either, but I must say it's lovely getting a nice surprise when you find a book you missed two years ago!
I'm also a picky reader, but I don't feel bad about it. I figure that makes me a better writer. As for keeping up with authors, Amazon.com tries pretty hard to keep me informed. My problem is that I'm in the market for a favorite author and I can't seem to find one.
i thank God for my great memory. sometimes i even pray to forget something! lol! um... maybe you should write such special events on a calender. sometimes i do that when its a long way off or christianboo.com has one of those email reminders. that'll help. ;)
i meant christianbook.com lol!
ARgh. Gotta love computers. Wrote a comment and it disappeared. Well, my thought was Amazon wishlist or create a note in Facebook and put the books in order of month published. If you check once a month you shouldn't be too far off and it's easily accessed and edited.
It helps me to follow the Twitter posts of my favorite authors on my phone. The thing is usually attached to some part of my body. Most good authors will let their followers know (in a professional way) when a book is coming out and even interact with any feedback.
I don't think there is a sure fire way unless you are personal friends with your favorite authors and they send you advanced copies. And unfortunately, that hasn't happened to me yet!! Have a great day!
I add them to my Amazon Wish List!! Then there's always a running list to refer to when I need new books--and there's a section where you can write comments, so if the book hasn't been released yet, I can add the release date there.
I'm on Goodreads.com, where you add and rate books you have read. Goodreads sends me an automatic monthly email with new releases from authors I have rated - so I just have to make sure all my favourite authors are on my Goodreads shelf!
I also have a book blog (www.christianreads.blogspot.com), and the blogging programmes are a good way of finding upcoming releases.
I work at a bookstore. Which makes it easy to find my favorites. :-D I do rely heavily on publisher websites along with the reps from the companies keeping me up to date.
