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.

If you build it, they will come...LOL And wasn't it Anne Lamott who said something like, If you want to make God laugh, tell her your plans? ( ;0)
Seriously, we serve a good God. I'm so thankful I can confide in Him my dreams (even tho' he already knows them) and he can make them into something better than I've planned. And that ain't no secret :)
I want an Audi TT like Ashley's.
And being a useful human being would be good, too.
See my priorities? LOL
I LOVE this:
"But I want to be the kind of old lady who can walk up those San Francisco hills at 80 in cute, orthopedically-friendly shoes, eat in a cafe, buy my groceries in a corner shop and enjoy my reading near my water/city view."
It doesn't get any better than that.
I'm thinking it doesn't either, Di. My great aunt who died last year lived off 19th Avenue (which becomes the Golden Gate Bridge) and she lived to be 96!! Lived in her house with stairs until she was 94. Now that's living!
Of course, she also survived life on a wagon train so she may have had better stock than me to begin with.
My dream for RIGHT NOW?
To own Kristen's new kitchen! LOL We currently live in a small house in our church parking lot, our choice as we get out of credit card debt. The kitchen is so small and old (metal cabinets went out in the '50s right?) that only one person can comfortably cook in there at a time.
Other dreams include living near the sea, getting my almost-complete novel published and influencing people towards Jesus.
Seriously, my dream is simply to be the "white-egg-driving mother of four."
I'd love to just be married with children. At this point, "just married" would be ok too. :D
How old do you have to be before you're considered an "old maid" anyway? (I'm 36.)
Suzanne, yeah, metal cabinets would be depressing. But the good news is that you could do anything to them and try new things! That's what I did with my old cabinets, painted them bright white and put on silver pulls because I couldn't afford to replace them. Kitchens are hard to not like though, it can get expensive when you don't want to spend time there!
Valerie, I don't believe in old maids! It's so easy to get caught up in other people's lives, trust me, mine is NO picnic! And you can have the white egg so I can get a sportscar and find my true, immature roots that will never leave me.
If you are open to God and He is open to you , What could be better?
I like that.
:)
I love this post. It makes me think--"what do I want to be when I am old?" (oh, yeah, this would be, like, this December.)
I was in San Fran twice. Everytime you talk about it, Kristin, I get a little envious and think, "Why couldn't I have been born on the West Coast?" I have relatives who went to California (before I was even born) and I assume they all are still there. But I will always be here, I'm afraid. I lived in a city once--I didn't like it. Maybe I would like it now? Probably not? I like looking out and seeing the lazy river and hearing the frogs croaking at midnight with the howl of the coyotes (and the rustle of those blasted raccoons chewing through my trash containers.) Ah, Green Acres.(Which is brown acres right now, except where the leech field fingers are because we're sort of having a drought.)
But I'd LOVE groceries delivered and fresh baked breads from a bakery that I didn't have to bake.
