I'm Diane, a Philly author. My debut, DOES LOVE ALWAYS WIN?, is a YA sapphic romance book with opposites attract and falling for the new girl. My next book SUPERFICIAL is a YA superhero story; Marvel meets National Treasure. My YA mystery, THE FINAL CHAPTER, is coming soon! š§µ
Line that I love from my upcoming YA mystery THE FINAL CHAPTER with @EvernightTeen: We have traffic incidents, medical emergencies, and the tornado that will live in infamy, not murders. Coming spring 2027!
I've had some exciting emails in my inbox and have needed help navigating them and I have to say, my author friends and the people they are connecting me to have been out of this world. Thank you all for your kindness. It means so much from this indie author!

THE RETURN OF THE CERULEAN BLUR is now on Kindle Unlimited! (Thanks, @WildInkPub!) If you are a KU subscriber, I invite you to check it out. š
If you need convincing, check out the Goodreads reviews. Here's a sample:
ALT As the Cerulean Blur, Susan Murphy battled supervillains, helped others, and soaked in the public adorationāall at 2,000 mph. But a tragic mistake ended Susanās superhero career 17 years ago and sent her life into a tailspin. When Susan is forced to use her powers again, it opens a dialogue with her estranged son, Troyāand gets the attention of a deadly foe from her past. For Susan Murphy to live, the Cerulean Blur must run again.
I've always wanted to have a book to promote during spooky season...and next year at this time I will!!! My YA mystery THE FINAL CHAPTER comes out in 2027 and it's A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER x NANCY DREW but make it sapphic set, during Halloween! š
Had fall farm fun with my writer friend Tiffany and our kiddos! š It was an absolutely gorgeous day to do some fall stuff and also talk about our WIPs! Always feel invigorated after meeting up with a writer friend!
Happy book birthday @KT_Carlisle! I have this book ready to go on my kindle! Canāt wait!
Today, I woke up a published author (for the sixth time)! š„³
Happy release day to me! And alsoā¦
SURPRISE!!! Bet you didnāt know WITCH AMONG US has a special hardcover edition available on Bezos Land! š„°
Speaking of Bezos Land, I get to spend my day on chat with support trying to figure out where all my missing prƫƶrdĆ«rs went. š« Life as an indie author sure is funā¦
But I wonāt let it get me down! Today is a day for celebrating (and witchcraft). š®
Happy reading, friends šš
Happy pub day @BBuchananWomble! This book was so good!!! š„³
First thing I did when I woke up was check my tablet. Yep - THE RETURN OF THE CERULEAN BLUR dropped - my second novel is now out in the world! š„²
At one point, I never thought pub day would come. Now, I've experienced it 2X - and more on the way....

ALT Author Bruce Buchanan examines his new novel, THE RETURN OF THE CERULEAN BLUR, on his tablet!
I was in Ireland for a week to celebrate my 10 year wedding anniversary and now Iām trying to get back into everything. I opened up a new book I started writing a couple of months ago and you know what, I liked what I read.
Dance party, @MStillbrook and are at 40k words! And a dance party just happened with our two characters who might or might not be falling for each other. ;)
Happy bi+ visibility day from this bi+ author!! And itās perfect timing, itās almost the two year anniversary of my YA queer superhero book SUPERFICIAL where the MC is also bi+! And I have a bi+ book coming out spring 2027, a YA sapphic mystery called THE FINAL CHAPTER.

Happy first day of fall from my circa 1998 possessed Furby. šI have been helping my parents move and they gave me my old Furby and he has started to make a home with us. He still works but sometimes when he is supposed to be sleeping we find his eyes wide open staring at us. 1/2

It has actually prompted @MStillbrook and I to add a Furby into our collab book!
Iām also so excited that by fall 2027 my YA Halloween themed mystery book THE FINAL CHAPTER will be out! Stay tuned for more fun stuff about that book. Happy fall!!!šš§
Popped into Bookish Notions in Media, PA this weekend and signed the copy of SUPERFICIAL they had in stock!! Itās such a cute store in downtown Media. I will for sure be back when Iām in the area again!
