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've often read with a flashlight under the blanket after I was ordered to turn off the light. LOL I've read in Hawaii, does that count? :-)
I'd like to read in Australia!
In a Romanian outhouse while suffering...discomfort:-) How's that for unusual!!
I also read by flashlight when the power goes out...not easy, but doable.
I like it when family or friends drive so I can get more reading done.
Oh my gosh Deena, that just CRACKED me up. Congratulations Di on going Polish! They must have a good sense of humor over there.
Probably the weirdest places I've read is on top of mountains in ski resorts because I hate to ski. I guess near the Matterhorn (the real one, though I've probably read one or two at the fake one at Disneyland too.)
(Waving wildly back at Diann. LOL.)I've read books on subways, buses, and trains in Istanbul, Glasgow, Copenhagen, Tokyo, Saporo, Paris, Budapest, and Prague! AND I've missed my stop more than a few times because I've had my nose in a book!
I wish you could see your books (Kristin's, Colleen's, Diann's, Denise's)all lined up on the shelves in my living room in Istanbul. That is, lined up when they're not being re-read or lent to friends. :) I LOVE reading your books, ladies.
P.S. Cool! How fun is that?! To have your book translated into Polish?! Yay! I'm so PROUD OF YOU!
I've read at my kids basketball games. I don't like sports! At least I'm there, right?
Also, I used to read by the light of my little bedside radio...ah those were the days.
Congrats Diann! I wonder if the people in Poland read your books while eating some kind of special Polish cake?
Um, the weirdest place I've read a book is probably in a concert hall. My piano teachers were going to perform, but our family came a half-hour early, so I read Cry in the Night while I waited. The worst part was -- I had to stop in the middle of a scene when the concert started!
The wierdest place for me is when I'm stuffed like a sausage into fishing waders my husband bought me, standing in the middle of a river in Montana with a book in a ziplock baggie (just in case I drop it - clutzy am I!), while my dh fly fishes. OH YES! And i'm usually balancing my own fly rod under my arm because, though I like fly fishing, I'm not quite enthused about Nate's 10 hour marathons. Hence the book in the ziplock baggie!
I did that as a kid. Now I still read in bed but minus the flashlight. :) I have a small book light to clip on the book for really, really good ones (like Diann's) so I can read until the wee hours of the morning and not bother the hubs.
Cool beans about going polish! Does that come with a dog? Oh, did I say that? ;)
And before seomone throws something at me, I meant a Polish HOTDOG.
Congrats, Diann!
I don't really read anywhere that I consider odd (I've done the bus, in a car, in bed, in the hammock, etc.), but I do have one habit that costs me some time in the morning. Since I do most of my reading at night, if I'm in the middle of a great book that I don't want to put down, I have found myself reading while I'm blow drying my hair the next morning. I wake up and am so anxious to read again, so I try to get even a few minutes in before I have to go to work - lol. It's not exactly easy to use a round brush with the blow dryer when you are reading, though :)
Oh - and I listen to audio books at work all the time. They all tease me when I pause my iPod because they think I'm just pausing music, but I tell them I'm listening to books.
I have often read in a Macy's store right outside the ladies' dressing room as I have waited for my wife (Diann) to find just the right clothes to purchase. I don't usually carry a book with me into the store but I always have one downloaded on my Palm Pilot. I've read maybe 5 full length books on the Palm and, no, I don't think it will completely replace hard copy print media.
Jim, don't let her buy brown again, k? Because Colleen can't stop talking about it, and it annoys us. I think she looks fine in brown, but you know...
A tropical island? Yes! Tahiti! I was sitting on a Tahitian beach reading Heartsongs about ten years ago, give or take! It was...wonderful! :-)
Jim!! So fun to find you on our blog!! ROTFLOL! Thank you for all your years of patience outside those ladies' dressing rooms! Love you!
K, don't even get C started on that brown thing. By the way, I think I'm going shopping this afternoon (Jim, just skip that last line).
Cecelia, Tahiti?!!!! How cool!!!
Hey, everyone, it's been run to read about your reading adventures!
The most random place I've read a book is during the theology lecture when I was in college. I was reading a very cool book and so I had it in my bag. The lecture was dull so I just brought it out for just a short read :)
Congrats Di on going Polish!
I've read books all over the world! But the bathtub is my favorite. :)

Diann, off the subject, but I wanted you to know that I got the results of my mammogram a few minutes. IT'S BENIGN!! Praise God! They told me that it is called fibroadenoma.
Thank you so very much for your prayers! Isn't God good?
Leticia, that's AWESOME news!!!!! I'm thrilled for you!!! God IS soooooo good!!!
