Author Diane Ziomek

Diane Ziomek was born in 1968 and spent most of her childhood on the family farm. She loved the outdoors and spent as much time outside as she could, choosing it over television more often than not. Her love of reading also came at an early age, and participating in a Read-A-Thon (to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis) in upper elementary school showed her reading many books in a short period of time could be done.

Reading was always a big part of her life, and she loved reading Stephen King novels. After her children were born the novels were often replaced with children's books during the day, but were brought out again after the kids were asleep. As the years went on, her personal library grew to include fiction, nonfiction, DIY books and books on parenting, to name a few.

Her passion for reading turned to dreams of writing, and in 2010 she began writing online. After dreaming for at least two decades she began researching her options and found self-publishing was the most feasible option for her.

In October 2012, Diane stepped out of her comfort zone of nonfiction and registered for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and wrote a 50,000+ word novel in the month of November. THE HIDDEN ESTATE was her first successful attempt at fiction, and she published it in December 2012. The second novel in the series, THE UNCOVERED DREAM, is now available.

She has also authored a number of nonfiction titles, which center around helping others follow their passions and achieve their dreams. These titles are mainly based on freelance writing, self-publishing and creating a business from a hobby.

In early 2018 she decided to expand on her fiction journey, and has written five of the six novellas in The Pipestone Creek Romance Series. Book Six is due to be completed before year-end.

She does not take the easy way out of anything, and as her late father used to say "If there's a hard way to do something, Diane will find it."

Diane resides with her common-law spouse north of Mannville Alberta and is also employed part-time at the Mannville Public Library as a Library Assistant. She treasures family time and enjoys spending time with her grown children, as well as other family members.
