About the Author

Earning a Bachelor of Science degree from the Florida State University, Dianne majored in psychology (double major, if you can imagine), scoring high marks and entry in the Psi Chi Honor Society.  Prior to parenthood, she worked a variety of sales positions but as an entrepreneur at heart, preferred to funnel her creativity into the design and development of upscale pet collars and leashes for dogs.

Married with two children, she now spends her time writing fictional novels for women and children, volunteers as garden coordinator for her children's school garden and writes a blog for the ever popular BloominThyme.com.  In addition to her own writing, she contributes articles to various magazines and writes the humorous blog for Crystal Golf.

At the end of the day, if she can inspire someone to stop and smell the roses (or rosemary), kiss their child and husband goodnight, be kind to a neighbor and Mother Earth, then she's done all right.
