More About the Author

Writing has always been my passion, and fortunately, I never run short of ideas. As a result, my ninety novels cover a wide array of genres, including Regency romance, fantasy, romantic comedy, romantic intrigue and mystery.

My latest project has been reediting, updating and in some cases rewriting my earlier books. It's a thrill to bring books back into "print," so to speak. These include a dozen traditional Regency romances. A Lady's Point of View is priced at 99 cents for Kindle, with the others at $2.99. My contemporary romantic comedies include Old Dreams, New Dreams (also 99 cents), and I've also issued my mystery Danger Music, originally published in hardcover by Five Star, for that low introductory price.

My classic fantasy Shadowlight, my supernatural thriller Echoes, my paranormal romance Touch Me in the Dark and my mystery The Eyes of a Stranger are now available for Kindle at only $2.99.

Currently I write for Harlequin American Romance. My miniseries, Safe Harbor Medical, is set in a fertility medical center in Southern California. Although each book stands alone, there are continuing characters. The first book in the series is The Would-Be Mommy.

I'm also an active member of Romance Writers of America and formerly served on the national board as well as the board of the Orange County, Calif., chapter.

I frequently update my website, www.jacquelinediamond.com, which includes news of my latest books along with tips for aspiring writers. On the Books page, you'll find a list of my Kindle reissues in the righthand column.

I post writing tips and interesting oddments from zombie sightings to Regency reference on Twitter. You can follow me @jacquediamond. Thanks!

Shotgun Nanny, by Nancy Warren

Annie Parker is a clown...a real big feet, grease paint, cracking jokes clown. A clown who ends up taking a temporary babysitting job for an ex-Mountie with a security complex. Mark Saunders isn't just safety minded about his niece, he's obsessed. And speaking of obsessions, Mark's can't seem to stop thinking about his new nanny whether she's in or out of her clown suit. As a matter of fact, he discovers he's rather partial to her out of it!

A free spirit meets the establishment in this hysterical story of opposites attract in Nancy Warren's fantasticly funny Duet!

Duets combine with two tales of rather unorthodox nannies who never intended a career in childcare. Outrageous hilarity and scent-sational fun prove that these authors aren't just clowning around. Congratulations to authors Jacqueline Diamond and Nancy Warren for earning the first WordWeaving Award for Excellence for a Duet!

HEAVEN SCENT by Jacqueline Diamond: Assistant psychology professor Nancy Verano finds herself without a job for the summer, so her sister convinces her to trade identities. Before her sister landed her big break on a sitcom, she had accepted a position advertised on the Internet for a nanny. Too bad Nancy dislikes domesticity. Of course, the very name of the nearest town suggests trouble: Skunk Crossing.

Something stinks in Skunk Crossing, but Diamond's tale comes up smelling like roses. Vegetarianism, a desire for Vienna sausages, and teens give this heroine a unique challenge that will keep the laughs coming. Max's attitude toward psychologist provides strong motivation for secret keeping, which inevitably leads to trouble. A delightful read!

SHOTGUN NANNY by Nancy Warren: When Annie Porter meets super serious ex-Mountie Mark Saunders under less than auspicious circumstances, neither dreams that they would soon cross paths again. Mark does not recognize Annie under her grease paint when arrives at as niece's birthday party as a clown, but her remarkable success with his niece leads to an irresistible offer of employment. Inevitably, Annie's free spirit collides with Mark's staid approach, as her very presence brings laughter and disaster in equal measure.

Nancy Warren's clowning around results in hysterical hilarity in SHOTGUN NANNY. Annie's free spirit and engaging personality draws out her reticent charge and the circumspect uncle in equal measure. Squirrels, dogs, and out of control humor will keep readers laughing until the last page. Indeed, Warren's effortlessly charming prose proves her mastery of romantic comedy.

Heaven Scent, Jacqueline Diamond

Dr. Nancy Verano is facing a publish or perish dilemma, but she hasn't found a study that captures her scientific interest until her sister begs her to take on a nanny position on a ranch. Well, Nancy could write an article on cowboys while she's there, and she's a child psychologist for pete's sake, so surely she can handle the kids. But can she handle Max Richter, their sexy rancher dad???

Jacqueline Diamond pens a hilarious story of cowboys, kids and...skunks??? Oh, yeah, and true and ever lasting love!
