About Me
Getting outdoors. One of my favorite things

I’m Dianne, the creator and author of this blog. I started blogging in order to promote my novels. But I discovered I really enjoy reaching out to the world through my blog.

I especially enjoy the comments from readers and how they illuminate the topics under discussion.
