Diane, who was born in New Jersey and now lives south of Kansas City, has always loved the old west. She grew up playing Cowboys and Indians more than she did Barbie, and it shows in what she writes: stories of the struggles of common people and what made this country great. Diane is married, has two grown children and one grandchild, five horses, two dogs, and numerous cats. When she’s not working on her books, she’s off trail riding with her horses and friends. Country dancing is also high on her list of “things-to-do.” She’d love to hear from you with comments. If you’d like to contact Diane, please do so at www.myspace.com/rogers_ghostdancers.
