| Historical romance author, Diane Wylie, loves books that will take her on an emotional roller coaster ride. What better genre than romance to do that? She has always particularly loved historical romances for their dashing heroes and beautiful heroines.
Since watching Gone With the Wind as a child, she has had an avid interest in the American Civil War. This interest comes to bear in her acclaimed novel, "Secrets and Sacrifices," along with short story, "A Soldier to Love." Two more Civil War romances will be released soon--in November 2008, "Jenny's Passion" and in March 2009, "Lila's Vow." Fast-paced, action-packed romance is my favorite kind to write.
Diane makes her home in Maryland with her husband, Ed, a former racecar driver, and two wonderful children. During the day Diane is an award-winning technical writer for a military contractor in Maryland.
