Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes. A hurricane hadn't taken direct aim at the Outer Banks in quite a few years. I've been writing the first book in my new Hope Beach series, Tidewater Inn. I thought it would be fun to write about a Cat I hurricane hitting. Nothing TOO bad because I didn't want the focus taken from the main story conflicts, but I wanted to show the small island all pulling together.Labels: brainstorming, Hurricane Irene

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.

Fortunately, no. But the thing about disasters is that if you wait long enough one is sure to happen pretty much like you said.
Yes, I said that the cinnamon roll I was eating was going to go straight to my thighs. Indeed it did.
Often, Colleen. It's truly enough to make a writer think twice. Write about busting into meth labs and two meth labs are busted within sight of home--too close! Write about flooding and husband gets cut off from work due to flooding. Write about tornado, and the week that book comes out, our town is destroyed by a tornado. I've heard from lots of friends who've had those creepy experiences. I'd much rather not feel so prophetic!
Praying for Diann. Wish I could be with you girls, but caring for Mom is taking over my life right now--and I find it rewarding.
I had a prophetic dream once, about my daughter. I"m not all into dreams and prophecy but it was amazing to see God's hand in it. :)
That's me, Suzanne! LOL
Very cool, Jaime! That sweet, Chloe. :) Cheryl, with your experience, I'd be forgetting it too. LOL
I know I didn't cause the hurricane, Timothy, but gosh I feel bad!
Ah, the power of the pen... or keyboard if you will.
