The Mind Monsters Series
Editorial Reviews for Fallen Spirits
“You’ll get no other book like this one. Unless we count the first. Imagination knows no bounds—or bowels—in this inventive, high-stakes sci-fi thriller.”
Independent Book Review
“The narrative masterfully weaves themes of self-discovery, materialism, and redemption, blending absurdism, satire, and dystopian undertones.…Its blend of humor, imaginative world-building, and profound social commentary makes it a truly memorable read.”
International Review of Books
“…A zany romp…packed with satire, intrigue, and adventure. Will captivate newcomers as well as prior fans, but be prepared for a wild ride.”
Midwest Book Review
Editorial Reviews for Rock Gods & Messy Monsters
“An easy-to-read yarn for those looking for something different. This is truly satire at its best.”
US Review of Books
“Satirical, zany, hilarious—a gut-punching commentary about the inner workings of the music industry, its power complexes, and power plays.”
The BookLife Prize
“A sterling example of modern absurdist observation and writing.”
Midwest Book Review
Women Writers in the Wild
(Currently on hiatus) If you find yourself in Santa Fe on a Saturday, check to see if Diane’s hosting a Women Writers in the Wild event.
Every month or two, writers of all ages and levels get together in the New Mexico desert to read their work, connect with others, and reconnect with the Earth.
You can read fiction, journal entries, new or old pieces – they just have to be original work you’ve written. Hope to see you at one some day!
