Raised on a tree nursery next to Farmer Green's cornfield in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and then relocated as a child to the Pacific NW, Diane has been a dreamer all her life. She finds the greatest happiness both in nature and in far-off, imagined places—often within the pages of a favorite book. Diane is currently working on the sequel to Song of Mornius, and plans to continue the adventure through future books set on the magical world of Talenkai.
