About Me
- Diane
- I'm a 43 year old writer of Young Adult and contemporary women's fiction as well as a collage poet. I live on the Mid North Coast, NSW, Australia. I've worked in arts administration, theatre and founded a film festival. My day job has very little room for creativity so now it is time for me to get serious about my writing aspirations!

WIP #1 - I'm With the Band
Kat has spent too many years in her comfort zone. But when her husband does a disappearing act mirrored by a guilt deposit of $20K into Kat's bank account, it's time to spend a month or two living fearlessly. First she needs a list: things to do before she dies.
When her favourite rock band Eloquent Beast reunites for a one-off tour, Kat trails along, rediscovering the joy of her youth. Soon she finds herself on stage singing with her rock god, skydiving, visiting nudist beaches and living life far beyond her comfort zone.!
STATUS: FIRST DRAFT COMPLETE
Inspired by the acoustic tour of Moving Pictures in August 2005, where once again I met the lead singer Alex Smith.
It made me feel 17 again.
This slideshow shows some pictures I have taken of the band.

WIP #2 - Beyond Happily Ever After
The real Cinderella story - Cinderella and her Prince, Edward, are being hounded by the media to produce the expected heir, but it's not quite going to plan.
A visit to the Prince's cousin, Henry, and his wife Snow White provides an unexpected solution but now Henry admits that he has been in love with Cinders since he saw her at the ball.
But Prince Henry also knows the real reason that the Queen threw the ball to marry off Edward. How long before Cinderella learns the truth?
A tale to rival the twists and turns of the present-day royal family.
STATUS : first draft complete!

WIP #3 - Diary of the Future
16 year-old Nicky Symons is disconcerted when a conversation with her crush Zach is repeated word for word for the second time in a week. But that evening as she re-reads her diary, she realizes that the journal she has found in her mother's second hand bookshop gives her the power to write her future. She thinks she's discovered the key to happiness and starts pre-writing her own and her best friend Mel's destiny. First she ensures that she hooks up with Zach, the cutest guy at school. Then she arranges for Mel's holiday fling, Tony, to move to town. But when her arch enemy Sonya ends up in hospital, and she discovers that Tony has left behind a pregnant wife, Nicky decides the diary's power must be buried. But Mel has other ideas. What happens when Mel digs up the diary and starts using its power?
