More About the Author

Diane was born Louise Diane Davis in Portland Oregon in 1944. Her family returned to Oklahoma after the war, then migrated to Long Beach California where she grew up.

She often says she was born writing. It was her first love from the time she could hold a pencil. Gifted with unbound imagination, she created stories to tell and to write, filling volumes with short stories and poems. Encouraged by her family and teachers, she planned a journalistic future. When she wasn't writing, she was reading, absorbing all she could about the art of creative writing.

Married at an early age, she put pen and paper away in exchange for raising a family and only returned to her art on the death of her beloved husband of thirty-four years. The loss of her husband was followed by the loss of her older son, and she found expression of her grief through writing poetry, which eventually evolved back into full length novel writing. She often visits her remaining son and her grandchildren in Arizona and Los Angeles, but thrives happily in the wide open prairie, having returned to her roots in Oklahoma.

Multiple times published, she is content to write her short stories and full length novels for print and e-book format. It gives her life an extra dimension and fulfills her love for the written word. You will find her at her computer just about anytime of day or night, pounding away on the keyboard, creating a lively tale of paranormal mayhem, or perhaps a poignant love story.

She loves to hear from her readers. Contact her at Diane@DianeDavisWhite.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read - Don't plan on doing anything until you finish it!, July 11, 2008
This review is from: Moon of the Falling Leaves (Paperback)
I just finished "Moon of the Falling Leaves" by Diane Davis White, and I am amazed. It is obvious that Ms White did a lot of research for this western novel. To emphasize something in the story, she'll use a word from the Lakota Sioux dialog and than transparently fit the explanation into the story. It takes a real talent to accomplish that without breaking the rhythm.
"Moon of the Falling Leaves" is about a widow, Jessica, stranded with four children in the Rocky Mountains, and the Lakota Sioux warrior that finds them. Swift Eagle has many reasons to hate white people, but a dream tells him to befriend the family. He knows a blizzard is imminent so he moves them into an abandoned cabin. Rather than let them starve, he teaches the children and Jessica how to survive.
Swift Eagle slowly wins Jessica's heart and the devotion of her children, but another dream shows Jessica standing with a white man. Swift Eagle knows he must take her back to her people: their love is not meant to be. When he takes the family to a town, Jessica falls into the hands of unscrupulous people. What will happen to Jessica, her family, and Swift Eagle? You'll have to buy the book to find out.
This is a very talented writer who can spin words to create an earlier time. She will take you back to 1870 and keep you spellbound the entire novel. Diane weaves personality into her characters until you seem to know them, and the romance between Jessica and Swift Eagle slowly builds to a climax
It takes real talent to write a believable novel about 1870, but Diane White pulls it off without a problem. Can you tell that I really loved this novel?

5.0 out of 5 stars Crave More Romance, July 28, 2008
This review is from: Moon of the Falling Leaves (Paperback)
Moon Of The Falling Leaves
By Diane Davis White

9780980035605

Jessica couldn't be worse off. Her husband's death just three days earlier has left her and her family unprotected against the coming winter with only a destroyed wagon for shelter. So when a handsome Lakota Warrior arrives claiming a vision showed him she would need his help she can only agree and keep a watchful eye on him. Perhaps too watchful she realizes as the tenderness he offers her children and his kindness to her begins to make her feel something other than just mere appreciation toward him. As her time with him grows so do the heated glances between them and she will have to decide if she can risk following what's in her heart.

The star crossed lovers of Diane Davis White's novel MOON OF FALLING LEAVES are the characters romance readers can't get enough of. With the mutual distrust forged between the Lakota people and the White's the two have enough riding against them from the beginning. Yet somewhere between Swift Eagle's kindness towards her children and the unquenchable passions he stirs in her, Jessica finds herself in love. It's this ability to not only transport her readers within her novel, but to make them feel connected to her characters that makes Ms. White's MOON OF FALLING LEAVES a historical romance readers will be beyond delighted to share with their friends.

Sure loved this one. It was moving, and hit me in the heart. I loved each of of the people in the story Jessica Swift Eagle and her wonderful children Jeremy, Freddie, Grace, Samuel, new baby John, and the rest of the great cast that makes up this book. From the being, it has you. I know people who love stories of the Indian getting the girl are going to adore it. My late Grandma would have love this.Was her favorite type of story to read.
