I have been a professional writer since 1987. I've written for newspapers, magazines, worked in the book publishing industry, and published novels and non-fiction books. In addition, I've guided numerous authors through the process of independent publishing, and offer workshops in that same vein. I'm the founder of the Parkinson's Comfort Project and over the course of six years, we gathered and gave away over 500 handmade quilts to people with Parkinson's disease.

Her favorite time among the botanicals is just after sunrise, which is pretty darn early in July.

But it’s cool and the bugs are late risers.

Diana’s garden favorite this time of year is snap peas.

OK, it’s everyone’s favorite this time of year.

Somehow, they never seem to make it from the garden to Diana’s home kitchen.

In this case, Diana says that cooking is a waste.
