I am beyond thrilled to announce that I just signed a new three-book contract with David C. Cook Publishers for a mystery series, The Professor and Mrs. Littlefield. I can’t wait to begin this new series with this fabulous publisher, whose works consistently make bestselling lists.

It’s also a joy to return to the writing world of contemporary mysteries and suspense novels. (If you liked The Butterfly Farm you’ll love this series!) There’s an added bonus: My main character, Lanie Littlefield, besides being a brilliant sleuth, is an upscale caterer who loves to cook and bake. I’ll soon be posting recipes with step-by-step, easy to follow photos on my Journal page — even before the book releases. Sign up to follow my blog or stop by this site often to see what Lanie Littlefield (and Diane!) are up to.

It’s been so gratifying to hear from those of you who’ve read THE SISTER WIFE and its sequel, THE BETRAYAL. I’ve been overwhelmed with the heartwarming responses so many of you have sent through this web site, by e-mail, and on my Facebook page. I am truly blessed!
