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!

This review is from: Nine-Month Surprise (Harlequin American Romance # 1101) (Mass Market Paperback)

Leah Morris came to Austin for a teaching job interview while was trying to leave behind her small-town shyness behind. She meets Will in the swinging Wayward Drummer country and western bar. They make love, but he is gone by morning. She vows to leave town even if the job is offered as she has too many memories of the louse who did not even say goodbye. At the same, Will feels guilt and shame for running out on Leah even if it was to handle a baby delivery at three in the morning. Still Will tries calling her but is relieved when she fails to answer.

However, that one night stand leaves Leah pregnant with no way of contacting Will. She decides to have her baby in her hometown, Downhome, Tennessee. To her their mutual shock, Dr. Will Rankin is opening up an ob-gyn practice in town. When they meet, he wants to do the right thing by her although he has twin children that need to come first. Still he proposes, but she refuses to marry him. As they fall in love, she assumes he desires her for the baby's sake; he has his work cut out to persuade her otherwise.

The second Downhome romance (see THE POLICE CHIEF'S LADY) is a warm contemporary tale that stars eccentric townsfolk whose antics make for a fun time. In many ways the escapades of the extended cast supersede the affectionate relationship between the likable nurturing lead couple. Jacqueline Diamond provides a gem of a small town romantic cozy.
