The big news is Dianna’s last book – PHANTOM IN THE NIGHT – hitting the New York Times best seller list. 

In the upcoming months, Dianna will be attending the RWA national conference in San Francisco the last week of July where you can find her at the literacy signing on Wednesday night.  The day after she flies home from national, Dianna will leave on August 4th to join Sherrilyn Kenyon on her Dark-Hunter Tour with Sherrilyn Kenyon whose long-awaited ACHERON book will be released.  A loud Hallelujah erupted around the world at news this book was finally coming to the bookstores and fans are going to love this epic 700 page hardback. 

After the tour, Dianna will be visiting with readers at DragonCon during Labor Day weekend in Atlanta at Sherrilyn Kenyon’s booth (her booth is even bigger this year).  Then Dianna will go to Chicago in September to teach a Plot YOUR Book In 2 Days Retreat with Mary Buckham (www.BreakIntoFiction.com). 

In October, Dianna starts the month in Portland, ME with Mary Buckham to present Break Into Fiction™ workshops for the Kiss Of Death Retreat featuring keynote NYT best seller Lisa Gardner.  The next weekend, Dianna will be one of the participating authors for the Buns & Roses Tea in Richardson, TX.  Right on the heels of that, Dianna will join Sherrilyn Kenyon for her third annual K-CON (Kenyon Convention) in New Orleans. 

One more thing…Dianna and Mary Buckham are guest blogging at www.textyladies.com on July 25th – plus we’re giving away door prizes.
