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.

bAs a high school English teacher, my school papers MUST be organized. There is a clipboard for each class and the lesson plans for the week are clipped to it. All the student papers that come in are separated into plastic sleeves and then put in the "to be graded" folder. There is a separate folder for photocopying and another for papers that are to be filed in the appropriate notebooks for each grade's lesson plans. I have boxes for each special literature unit we do (where I store the handouts, notes, DVD's , bulletin board materials, etc.)and baskets to collect portfolios and projects. Each student has a mailbox to put the latest handouts and graded papers.
I'd say that's excessively compulsive behavior, wouldn't you?!
Maybe even over the top?! Funny thing is, when the papers aren't organized, I start to panic. I'm so afraid I'm going to lose a student's paper.
Uh, Denise, I've seen your clutter free counters and I have to tell ya, I didn't see any clutter anywhere else either...I remember thinking the same thing...where's the mail...the already graded homework papers...anything. You should never come to my house. LOL. You would be seriously stressed out.
On a side note--Is it just me or do they send home a dozen papers a day with our children? Sheesh, I can hardly keep up.
I am so glad that I am not alone!
People have accused me of being a minimalist because of my clean-counter-compulsion. It's not true! I have as many small kitchen appliances and gadgets as any homemaker ought to have!
I just appreciate the beauty of clean counter tops. It just feel right to walk into your kitchen and see that some tangible area of life is in order!

Pam, you HAVE to be organized--you're a teacher! LOL
Believe me, Sabrina, this house gets to be a wreck--especially on the weekend.
Ah, Kellie, a kindred spirit. I knew I'd find someone who understood.
Um, no. We don't have that area. That's reserved for Anal Retentives only. : ) BTW, how on earth do you keep the kids from tossing stuff on it? A clean counter to my kids is a place where they can lay more stuff. Sigh. Maybe you train them better than I do. I can't even train my husband.
Oh how do you do it, D? I HATE to see clutter on an island too but it just. . . breeds. I've never found a way to keep it from exploding. LOL Give us your secret.
Yes, please give us your secret! I thought for sure when the kids moved out I'd not have to clean as much but it still piles up way to fast. As for my compulsivity, I want my sharpened pencils to be stored points up--so I can tell if it's sharp or not--and my pens must be points down so the ink will work with gravity. Clean spots? Don't know how that works but get me around pens and pencils, yeah, there's something wrong.
Abundant blessings,
Jenny Cary
