Lynn’s first published writing, news about her Brownie troop, appeared in the Milford (IL) Herald when she was seven. Many years later she authored Cinnamah-Brosia’s Inspirational Collection for Women. The Essence of Courage, (Volume 1 of 3) was recognized as a must-read by industry professionals.
Each chapter of the devotional volumes contains one real-life story from family and friends. After fictionalizing the stories to protect identities, Lynn wondered if – then dared to believe – she could write full-length novels.
Since she was old enough to collect the schnitzels (scraps) she left behind, Lynn’s grandmother nurtured her love for all things needle-and-thread . Following in her grandmother’s steps, Lynn sewed for the public creating custom wedding and formal attire, adorable children’s outfits, and everything in between. Lynn and her graphic designer husband, Steve, created The Lynn’n Butterfly Collection–a dozen leaflets filled with original counted-cross-stitch designs. A few of the leaflets found their way onto large distributors’ top-seller lists.
In 2007 Lynn became a certified reflexologist (think way better than a great foot rub), and Footsteps in Eden was born. Passionate about helping others, Lynn’s touch-therapy skills bring relaxation to her clients one pair of feet at a time. Being entrusted with the privilege of sitting at and holding the feet of another individual is humbling, and it’s a precious opportunity to pray for them as well.
Married since 1973, Lynn and Steve’s Bartlett, Tennessee, home is filled with aromas of freshly baked bread, needlework treasures, and lots of love for friends and family. Jasmine, the resident feline, runs the place, while Lynn combines her passions and her heritage – “Stepping through Time, Stitching Stories of Faith”.
Lynn’s debut novel, Tangled Promises, is a BookFest Award Winner.
USA Today bestselling author Jan Thompson writes Christian coastal city and beach town romance with flavors of women’s fiction, Christian romantic suspense with elements of mystery, and inspirational near-future technothrillers with threads of sweet Christian romance. Jan’s books are for readers who enjoy stories of faith, family, and friends.
Raised on a tropical island in the Eastern Hemisphere, Jan now lives and writes in the Western Hemisphere. Her international background gives her a unique multicultural and multiracial perspective to her novels and books. The island has never left her, and she reminisces about beach life in her beach romance novels.
When Jan is not busy writing small-town stories, she writes big-city romantic suspense and international technothrillers, a nod to her previous career in computer science. She weaves technology with human interests, reflecting the current and future digital world. And romance. There’s always romance.
Beyond the printed page, Jan is a wife, mother, family scribe, avid reader, occasional artist, erstwhile pianist, and chief of staff to the family cat.
Jan’s life verse is John 3:16.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

“You want me to help you WHAT? PARALYZE someone?”
“Only temporarily, of course.”
And thus began the writing collaboration known as Hannah Alexander.
Hannah Alexander is the pen name for the multiple award-winning author team Cheryl & Mel Hodde. Their awards include, among others, the Christy Award for Romance, 3 Holt Medallions, a Library Journal Inspirational Fiction Top 5 pick, and Inspirational Reader’s Choice Contest. Their recent title A Woman Worth Knowing, was an Amazon #1 Best-Seller in multiple categories.
Hannah means “she whose hope is in the Lord,” and Alexander means “servant of mankind.” Mel quickly points out “Cheryl is Hannah; I’m Alexander.” Cheryl has loved to write since she was 6 years old, fondly recalling rewriting Bonanza episodes in her head at that age. When Mel was ten, his mother said, “Son, as much as you love science and helping people, you should be a doctor,” and the idea stuck. As a thirty-year veteran in emergency medicine, Mel makes sure the medical background found in all their books is authentic.
Cheryl and Mel currently are living in Arizona and they love hiking, traveling, going to the zoo, and being in the great outdoors.

WHEN HANNAH MET ALEXANDER (Cheryl’s Viewpoint):
It was a set-up from the beginning, and I wasn’t interested. My meddling pastor, Ron, however, had different ideas.
“Cheryl,” he said at church one night, “I found a man for you. He’s a doctor.”
“Are you kidding me? Brother Ron, not interested.”
I argued with great vehemence, but when Ron wanted his way, he got it. That night he dragged poor Mel through the church as I tried to escape out the back door. Mel wasn’t what I expected, however. He was nothing like the doctors I’d known in the past. He was gentle, shy, intelligent. I got rid of him as soon as I could, of course, but that wasn’t the end of it. A few weeks later, while I was eating out with a group of church staff, in walked Mel. Ron gently shoved a young friend of mine from the seat beside me and beckoned to Mel to sit there. The whole staff was in on this set-up. I was amazed, embarrassed, and couldn’t think of a thing to say. Neither, apparently, could Mel.
I broke the silence with a discussion of my lifelong passion. “So, you’re a doctor? Could you help me paralyze someone?”
You know that “deer-in-the-headlights” look some people get in the presence of serial killers? That was Mel. I saw my mistake immediately. “I’m sorry, it would only be temporary. I’m working on my thirteenth unpublished novel, and I need my character to be paralyzed for part of the story.” (You may find the finished product in the Hannah Alexander novel, Urgent Care)
Mel regained color in his face, grinned, and together we brainstormed the pertinent information I needed for the novel. He was so intrigued he eventually read all the manuscripts I had filed away, and when we got married a year and a half later, we formed a team. I began to base my heroes on Mel’s strong, ethical, gentle character, and the novels began to sell. We chose the pen name of Hannah Alexander to show that we work together as a unit. I’m the writer who creates our fictional world; Mel is the doctor who researches, edits, even writes some of the medical scenes.

Thankfully, as her children grew, so did her writing ability. Now that her kids are adults, she has more time to play with the lives of fictional heroes and heroines, wreaking havoc and working magic to give her characters happy endings. When she’s not writing, she’s editing or reading, proving most of her life revolves around the twenty-six letters of the alphabet.
