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 have been watching Downton Abbey too. We have just finished viewing the Christmas Special here in New Zealand, and the third series is due to start soon.
But, like you, it was Colin Firth's Darcy that got me hooked. That inspired me to read Jane Austen, then some of the other great writers of the nineteenth century. I wonder which of today's authors will still be being read in 200 years?
I wonder if it will be about vampires. LOL David Rintoul's Darcy is the one who originally got me into Austen. That was in high school and I devoured it. I have tried to get my daughter hooked, but she is just not into it. LOL
Same with Downton. I watch it alone. : (
i saw downtown abby once and i felt confused. lol. but when i met colin firth at the age of 12 i knew i was in love. lol! after i saw pride and prejudice i readd all the austen books and i also like mr.knightly. but yes i must say, colin firth made mr. darcy come to life.
That scene where he comes out of the water and then comes across Elizabeth at his house...yeah, I think my DVD is a little worn from watching that part so many times ;)
But in all fairness, that scene is not in the book. But DANG, it should be. LOL That scene in Bridget Jones's 2 where she interviews Colin Firth is worth the price of that whole book. LOL
There is a spoof on youtube if you need your Downton fix. Here's the link to part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr2mPChkTK8

You are correct about Mr. Darcy or as we know him, Colin Firth! I also loved that they didn't change the story much at all in this miniseries. You literally watched the book unfold before your eyes instead of thinking - it didn't happen like that but ok. I remember years ago I found this on VHS at my library and rushed home to watch it. Only I didn't realize I only got tape 1 and there were 3 or 4 tapes! I had to go back to the library ASAP.
