Diane Burke will join us
this month or present Gems From the Treasure Chest, words of wisdom from herself
and other successfully published authors. She'll share tidbits of information
on plotting, characterization, and other topics she has picked up from her own
experience as well as a variety of authors with whom she has formed bonds.
Diane is a multi-published
author who has won several awards such as first place in the Daphne du Maurier
Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense. She was one of three finalists in the
prestigious ACFW Carol Award (previously book of the year).
Diane lives in Florida
nestled between the excitement of the theme parks and Daytona raceway and the
quiet historical streets of St. Augustine. When she isn’t struggling with
never-ending writer’s block and procrastination, she spends her time,
preferably on windy or cold days, at the beach when few people are nearby and
she can just sit and appreciate the peaceful beauty of nature.
She loves to read, is
learning to crochet, has dabbled in painting with watercolors, and hopes to
someday travel the country teaching classes, meeting people, and helping them
make their dreams come true.
ACRA

10599 Deerwood Park Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. Phone (904)-996-0325. Bring your
