Dianne Miley and The Crystal Falls Series

Please join me in welcoming one of my dearest friends, Dianne Miley, who was a writer before I even met her. We met in our local LowCountry Romance Writers of America. Then, we both switched to American Christian Fiction Writers once we learned there was such a group--and we're charter members of our relatively new local chapter. Hello Readers, I’m Dianne Miley, author of The Crystal Falls Series. I grew up and raised my family in Northeast Ohio, but after they graduated, we all moved to sunny South Carolina. I now live near Charlotte, North Carolina. People most often notice my smile and I’ve been nicknamed Smiley Miley.

Please tell us about your book—or in your case, books? Life isn’t always pretty in picturesque Crystal Falls. Amid family saga and an active gossip mill, murderers, stalkers, and kidnappers lurk to torment the idyllic small town, but God and romance always win.

On Roses for Rachel, I had several suspects for the stalker and couldn’t decide. Thank goodness for writer friends! A critique partner made a suggestion, and I immediately knew the perfect character to be the stalker. Let's get to know the readers a bit better. Ask a question and let's share your answer, too. How did you find true love? Mine was my very first date at age 16. It was a blind date set up by a high school friend. We’ve been together ever since! Now married for 42 years, we have two married children and two grandchildren!
