Hi! I'm Diana, and that handsome fellow in the picture is "Freddie." I am a follower of Jesus Christ! I say that up front because nothing else seems as important. I'm also a wife and the mother of one beautiful daughter. And I'm a writer, artist, and sometime musician.

Before I came to know Jesus, I wrote and edited science fiction and fantasy. After my conversion, I didn't write any fiction for several years. I simply didn't have any ideas. I believe that Christ was grooming me during that time, saying that I had to know Him before I could write about or for Him. Then one day, as I watched television, I fretted about my daughter (then eleven years old) and all the things that would influence her life and challenge the values my husband and I and the church worked to instill in her. I prayed, and the Lord spoke to my heart, saying, "Use the gifts I have given you." On that day, the plot, setting, and characters for what would become "Preacher's Son" were born. I haven't stopped writing since. With the Lord's help, I am currently working on my third novel and am shopping for an agent or publishing house.

My novels are for and about Christian teenagers. They're set in a fictitious rural county in North Carolina. I hope the books will be enjoyed by guys as well as girls. They focus on some of the issues and temptations teens face everyday, with some drama, a little bit of suspense, a little bit of romance, a little bit of humor, and a lot of God's love and redemption.

I live in Canton, Georgia, with the foothills of the mountains in view. My husband is a computer programmer and musician, and the owner of an iTunes radio station, Bass World Radio (that's bass guitar, not bass the fish!). My daughter loves to dance ballet, and last year danced the lead role of Clara in a professional production of The Nutcracker. (I'm not TOO proud, am I?) We live in a house full of beloved pets: 2 huskies, 3 cats, 3 birds, and a whole bunch of fish. The Lord has blessed us in many ways, but I consider it my greatest privilege to be able to serve Him through the creative gifts He has given me.
