<p>Diane M How lives in St. Peters, Missouri with her husband of forty-seven years. Being retired affords her the time to indulge in her passion for writing on a daily basis. Many of her award winning short stories and poems can be found in anthologies published by Saturday Writer, a well-known and supportive writ­ers guild that maintains more than a hundred members. This is Diane’s first published novel, but hopefully not her last.</p>
