About the book YOU can Win: 

To start off my section of this blog hop/giveaway, I thought I’d use the intro that writer, editor, and writing instructor Wendy Strain used to announce me as a judge for her upcoming #5 MinuteFiction writing event taking place July 15…

“While the story begins with a just-married and innocent Jeru, it quickly spins this main character into a series of events over which he has no control, leading him to become a solitary hunter for the clan until the day the Purple Morrow, a harbinger of hope, appears to him and sets him on a path he cannot avoid as he slowly begins to understand his own destiny in a world terrorized by the Rovers.

“Dyane writes with a beautiful descriptive voice that pulls you easily into the scene, but her writing is strongly focused on issues of culture and personal growth. Don’t worry, though. She doesn’t get heavy-handed about it – it’s all woven seamlessly into the stories she writes.”

Thanks, Wendy! Even I wanted to buy my own book after reading that. 😀

About The Purple Morrow in my own words…

Painting by Amy Hands

The idea for The Purple Morrow started a few years back when I wanted to explore themes related to loss, redemption, and moving forward. The story of a man unable to deal with the past while being thrown into a crisis demanding that he settle things and move on seemed a good place to start. 

The Purple Morrow started very simply; I’d intended it to be a solo book. But as the story developed and the characters matured, I knew the full tale had to be explored. The world of Marathana blossomed, becoming multi-cultural, each people group following their own cultural or religious beliefs. Magic and spirituality are also firmly rooted in this world and play essential roles in determining which side–good or evil–will prevail. I had a full-fledged trilogy on my hands. 

I am proud of these books. The Purple Morrow is the only one available for purchase through Storenvy and Amazon at the moment, though Wolf’s Bane, the sequel, is in the pipe and Berserker, the third book, is in production.
