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.

My favorite part of conferences? Being with other authors, as you said.
Writing is solitary work. But getting to talk "writer talk" with other authors is refreshing.
Most years, I attend Florida Christian Writers Conference; Advanced Writers and Speakers Association conference at IRCS each summer; and American Christian Fiction Writers conference. I've also been to
Blue Ridge (Yvonne Lehman's) and Glorieta. Oh, and I've taught fiction technique at Florida Christian Writers Conferences.
Chatting and chocolate reign right up there. I wouldn't have moved forward without the encouragement and friendships I developed through ACFW. And where else can you talk "writer talk" like Kristy said and praise Jesus at the same time? A little bit of heaven on earth in my opinion.
Colleen I wonder if you'll recognize me or the chocolate first this year? Can't wait to see you.
Congratulations on the award! That's fantastic news. :)
Thanks for the info on the conferences. When reading "Girls Write Out", Angela Hunt's blog, and other writer's blogs I started wondering if there was any for those of us who enjoy writing and want to someday publish but aren't quite there yet.
I'd be hard pressed to choose a favorite part of conferences! But I love to talk with other authors. Who else understands us? The rest of the world thinks we're nuts. :o)
Great blog! I meet Colleen Coble at a conference!
And congrats!!!
Love ya, Rachel
I can't wait! Very nervous and excited all at the same time!
Congrats on the award!
One of my favorite conference memories... Standing in a group of people and Robin saying something that no one but me caught... cemented our friendship, right there! LOL
The fellowship with other writers is awesome... being able to worship Jesus with other writers is even better!
LOL...shhh, Heather!
For me, it's being around the "community" of writing people. However, having just returned from RWA, I will say this.....a christian writer simply MUST attend ACFW's conference. I've met some of my closest friends at conferences. What a great way to "connect" and with great worship??? Can't be beat!
