A Work in Progress - Come the Realms of Winter (Book) - 6/25/2009 11:36:03 AM
Only one comment on this first chapter? I wish there were more and with luck I may have this book finished and published this year. Is there any interests in more of the story???

The Dragon and The Rose - Part 1: The Turning Point (Book) - 4/24/2007 12:51:43 PM
Hi! Diane, I read the excerpts of your 'dragons' books and found them fascinating. I am three quarters through my "fantasy' book; my first.
I was wondering how is the market for these kind of books? I am thinking of making this kind of book my genre too. Best of luck!

Finally got this one going, very cool to see that you're writing again Dianna.
The Dragon and The Rose - Part 2: The Confrontation (Book) - 5/1/2002 2:53:47 PM
Outstanding sequal to the first Dragon and the Rose, with a wonderful ending. The story flows along quickly, and answers many questions raised in book 1. A very good ending to a great story !!!!

Riveting. Your work never fails to impress and excite me.
The Papyrus of Queen Nitocris (Short Story) - 11/9/2009 9:56:15 AM
Diane,
You mimic the style of H.P. Lovecraft extremely well, and with an added blend of your own sweet and exotic spices. Awesome job. In my opinion this story should become a novella or novel, because not only do the subjects of pyramids and Egypt conjure up fear and interest in the people whose minds are sensitive to the bizarre, but it is a great story in itself.

I disagree with Kenneth. I think the brief summaries were fine and dandy, and altogether not dissimilar to sour candy, based on the brevity of the language overall. The beginning reminded me of "Turn of the Screw," by Henry James--good suspense. The thing that bothered me the most was drinking coffee right before going to bed--I'm not the type of guy who does well with caffeine after dinner, and that took a bit of the reality out of things for me--but otherwise well told.

I really enjoyed reading this. Wonderful story in its own right, but the fact that it really happened just makes it even more riveting. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone - Bravo.

You needed to expand the others stories and define what happened and what the form was.
Childhood Shadows (Short Story) - 4/29/2005 8:18:18 AM
Wow. Great story. Well told.
The Papyrus of Queen Nitocris (Short Story) - 10/4/2004 4:37:18 PM
Great Lovecraft expansion. I found this visit to ancient Egypt quite enjoyable. Excellent work.

I need to see this one. Bringing back the roots of where you came from being from the Providence area. I am going to have to take a look at this. I read Inprisoned With The Pharohs, so this sounds intriguing.
Childhood Shadows (Short Story) - 8/17/2002 12:27:20 PM
Great - Really keeps you in suspense.
I never knew that you had seen this
as it happened.

Great story Dee !!! The ending gave it a perfect, creepy touch.
Childhood Shadows (Short Story) - 5/16/2002 11:54:28 PM
This one is awsome as hell. I am trying to see what others you have here - keep up the good work. This is a messed up one but I like it, this is a scary read.
Childhood Shadows (Short Story) - 5/9/2002 1:19:03 AM
Very suspensful, good ending.
Childhood Shadows (Short Story) - 5/8/2002 10:18:11 PM
This was riveting! So you actually saw the person who committed the crime? Tell me more girl!
Childhood Shadows (Short Story) - 5/8/2002 8:36:08 PM
Excellent story Dee. It really held my interest. The ending makes it a bit more sinister and frightening.
Rhode Island History --Inspiration for Horror! (Article) - 7/31/2003 9:56:59 AM

Rhode Island History --Inspiration for Horror! (Article) - 4/11/2003 1:11:56 AM
Strong one here -- being that I visited New England, I can see where the gothic would have its roots in New England. I wanted to do something similar about the Midwest but that is going to be harder because it has a history that is recently quite macabre. Living in Illinois, you'd hear the stories about people cutting other people open for their infants in a ritualistic nature. A Charles Manson type of murder then the freakish suicide stories you hear over here about people laying on the rails allowing the train to decapitate them.
The most macabre of them would have to be where I grew up at in DuPage County -- on my street a woman was shot five times and found charred beyond reconition. Then the one that was close to me -- all too close because the person I went to school with did the killing of a cab driver. That this would be some of the true crime that is over here.

It's great to have someone to catch us when we need them to. We're lucky if we have that. I like the style of this poem. You give a feeling of falling (spinning) out of control. Nicely penned:)

It's rather nice, I think. Some people are kites & others are rocks. Both are important. :)

Captured (Poetry) - 2/7/2008 1:34:12 PM
Lovely imagery and if I told you even half of the poems I have written that were real we would be talking for a long time-LOL
Captured (Poetry) - 1/23/2008 10:56:48 AM
This is excellent, and it can mean what we need it to mean to us.
Miss You (Poetry) - 12/19/2007 7:32:16 AM
This is a lovely piece of writing--direct, concise, and full of vivid imagery.
Captured (Poetry) - 12/19/2007 7:06:55 AM
This is exactly what I am feeling right now, looking out my window and my balcony at the freezing rain ensnaring the colorful autumn leaves in its icy embrace. Thank you for sharing.
Captured (Poetry) - 11/19/2007 10:39:11 PM
Hi Diane! I read your poem, "Captured" I found it opening my mind a little. It is cryptic, but a fun read. A nightmare full of color and
messages. Great work sometimes come from dreams. Best of luck! Please feel free to visit my sites either at www.freewebs.com/kendoo or here in the "Den".

very nice...well-crafted thought...i liked it.
The Battle Fierce (Poetry) - 2/21/2004 6:15:17 PM
Interesting. Marion Zimmer Bradley said that most of "The Heritage of Hastur" came to her in dreams, and it is her best book (in my opinion). Unfortunately, my dreams are much more mundane.
Miss You (Poetry) - 2/9/2004 5:30:27 AM
Lovely and so romantic with just a few well chosen words.
Miss You (Poetry) - 2/7/2004 12:02:54 PM
Lovely work.
