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.

With some of my novels, I’ve done like you said and wrote the book before I figured out what the theme was. But For the Love of a Devil is probably the best novel I’ve ever written, so I can’t dismiss the fact that I found the theme before I did anything else. It is my belief that if an author is going to retell a Bible story, his book had better have the same message as the original story. I’ll mess with anything else, but the theme and the major elements of the plot are set in stone.
That's how I work, too, Di. I have NO idea about the spiritual thread prior to the story. Well, maybe that's not quite right. I have an idea but nothing concrete. That develops in the writing. :) Funny, others tend to see it before I do.
I don't always know the spiritual journey when I get started. I like that to develop as I see the characters. but then I'm seat of the pantser. :)
I'm new to writing. I just finished writing my first novel, so I only have it to comment on. I did not start out with the intention of sharing my spiritual views, but the main character changed on me. I was rather surprised.
