My most recent article for @writerunboxed.bsky.social is just a much a pep talk for me as it is for others.

After recent events, it's become so very clear that social media isn't the best way to reach our communities. While I haven't given up on my social media entirely, I am going to be focusing on my blog over at Substack. Feel free to join me there.

In ep 12 I chat with @dianagauthor.bsky.social about uncovering women’s stories; her strongest editor & biggest critic; why there’s more to Italy than ancient Rome & the mafia; & so much more. Find out why Diana loves badass historical women-and why you might learn to love them, too.

If you'd like to support your fave authors in 2025 but you're skint, you could:

- make a social media post about the book, just as basic as "i enjoyed this" and a picture (don't forget alt-text)

- rec it in a relevant reddit thread or Goodreads forum or Facebook group

Word of mouth has an impact!

There are a lot of new friends here. Welcome! I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Diana. I write historical fiction novels about bad ass women.

I am also a Podcaster and blogger.

Yes, editing is where the art comes in for the writing but can we talk about how that art is therapeutic when things just don't seem to be going your way?

The sweet young cashier at Trader Joes "oh, are you having a party for New Years?"

Me, looking over my $100 worth of snacks "if by party you mean hanging out at home watching Wicked with my dogs, then yes, yes I am."

Here’s a suggestion for decorating your home for the New Year…

If you ever wondered what it's like to write with a Dachshund....

My goal for the rest of 2024 is to eat so many tamales that I infact become a tamale.

Thank you for respecting my decision.

I am saddened to hear about the passing of author M.J. Rose. One of the things that I love about podcasting is being able to sit down with authors. MJ was warm & knowledgeable. It felt like sitting in on a masterclass. I only met her one time but I could see M.J. was an author's author.

I decided to take a break from writing this week because of my schedule. Have to say, it is one of the best things for me, BUT I want to cancel all my social plans so that I can sit home and write instead.

So, I am here giving this bluesky thing a chance.

I'm a Historical Fiction Author and all around book lover.

Looking to follow more authors and book accounts.
