Hannah
Alexander is the pen name for the husband-and-wife writing team Dr. Mel
and Cheryl Hodde. The Hoddes began collaborating on fiction books
during their first date, actually a blind date arranged by their pastor.
It all began when Cheryl shocked Mel with her request, “Can you help me
paralyze someone without killing him?”

Cheryl
went on to explain that she was an author and needed to paralyze a
character in the book she was working on. Mel, a board-certified ER
physician with a degree in osteopathy, was happy to assist. This was
Mel's introduction to the world of fiction and Cheryl’s introduction to
medicine. They were both fascinated, and a year and a half later they
were married.
The couple established a pen name that rightfully distinguished the two sides of their writing. After more than a decade of marriage, they have written more than a dozen books as Hannah Alexander and have garnered a Christy award for their work.
The following is a January 2014 interview with Cheryl.
