There she switched from performing to teaching violin and explored other creative outlets including gardening, spinning, knitting and carpentry. An animal lover, she also ran a donkey sanctuary for several years and dabbled in harness driving and riding.But since discovering writing, Diane has done little else. When she isnt hard at work at her latest novel shes planning her critique groups next retreat or a workshop for her local writing club. Run To Me, her debut novel, combines a love of Hitchcock-style suspense with memories of summer vacations in New England, her favorite place on earth.These days Dianes hobbies include juggling, movies and the study of creativity, learning and achievement.
