I love to write. That's pretty much all I do. Ask my family about the undone laundry, the un-bought groceries, and the fact that I rarely find time to get dressed in the morning.

I love to write. That's pretty much all I do. Ask my family about the undone laundry, the un-bought groceries, and the fact that I rarely find time to get dressed in the morning. Actually, if you train your family right, they won't notice any of these things. "Popcorn for dinner again, mom! Cool," say my filthy children. God bless them, they don't know what panty hose are. Oh, my poor husband. Anyway, it took me a long time to figure out WHAT to write. So I spent years writing ads, brochures, and company reports. If I had to give advice to anyone--which, thankfully, I don't--it would be that if you want to write books, start now. In fact, get the heck off this website and do it. Wait! First buy my book. Then read it. Then go and write. Are you still here? Okay, then you must be a pure reader (or my mother). Good for you. No money in writing. Best to have a real job. What else do you want to know about me? I love kids. I love cats. I love chocolate. (Not necessarily in that order.) I live just outside of Philadelphia with kids and cats (and hidden stashes of chocolate) and my dear husband. Visit my website, DianaHolquist.com to find out more. There's a contact form on that page if you'd like to e-mail me. I'd love to hear from you!

But when an elderly woman riding in a carriage around Central Park asks him which Duke he is, it's unmistakable - he also has trouble on his hands. He accompanies the woman to her granddaughter's home to be sure she gets home safely, only to enco...

I need a reality check on one thing. What does the title of this book say to you?I assumed it was a book by the daughter of an Amy Chua-type mom. It isn't. It's by a mom and her teenaged daughter. Well, technically it's all by the mom, but she interviews her daughter and then weaves her answers toge...

I went into this book wondering how the author would play this. EVERY girl wants to catch a movie star, but Jasmine has so many fears that she tells herself no way! I loved the humor - boy did I laugh A LOT!! Also - the friends and family of both main characters made this book feel real and not fu...

This story is definitely like nothing I have ever read before; a crazy old lady (I totally see myself turning into her because of all the regency books I read), a Duke of Whatthehell, and frumpy schoolteacher. I'm three chapters in and feel like I should write some comments but honestly I'm flabberg...

Love this joint mother/daughter exploration of one family's approach to modern parenting. The distinctive voices of Diana and Hana as they tell their stories and Diana's openness in portraying her own journey away from "tiger mother" expectations and toward acceptance of her daughter's unique brilli...
