Dianna looked in the mirror of the girls room, she brushed her curly brown and raven mottled hair out of her eyes. She was tall for 12 years old, 5 ft 8 inches and lean, other girls her age were starting to blossom. Dianna had grown in other ways.

Author bio

I have always been a story teller, but writing down what is inside my head isn't always easy and I have help from family to edit my work so that it all comes together in a grand story for you to read. Bhearh my husband is a walking talking dictionary, my daughters Elizabeth and Jj are ready to help me make sure what I think gets to the page clearly, Mel my sister will read it and let me know if it is just way to crazy. Thank you to those that support my new habit of writing. Bhearh is my muse, over the years my wonderful husband has been a Game master in several RPG table top games, ranging from D&D to Mech Warrior and many more. He has romanced me over thousands of lifetimes, and thousands of world. It is because of him I am able to write down those adventures and without him I wouldn't have so many tales to tell. Thank you my love.
