Here is a little about Diana--
When she was
eight, Diana Miller decided she wanted to be Nancy Drew. But no matter how many
garbage cans she dug through, conversations she “accidentally” overheard, and
attics she searched, she never found a single cryptic letter, hidden staircase,
or anything else even remotely mysterious. She worked as a lawyer, a soda jerk,
a stay-at-home mom, a hospital admitting clerk, and a conference host before
deciding that the best way to inject suspense into her otherwise satisfying
life was by writing about it.
Diana is a
five-time nominee for the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award and
winner of a Golden Heart for Dangerous Affairs—a romantic suspense novel that
shows not everyone in her home state is Minnesota Nice. She lives in the Twin
Cities with her family.

BLURB Dangerous Affairs:
When soap opera star Abby Langford leaves Los
Angeles for her Minnesota hometown, she’s hoping to give her nine-year-old
daughter the peaceful childhood she never knew. But instead of tranquility,
Abby finds an old knife hidden between the walls of her new house. Then the
nightmares start: a blood-soaked victim and a killer’s arm slicing through the
air, again and again.
Abby wonders if she’s having the nervous breakdown the tabloids claim
she already had, especially when sexy, skeptical police chief Josh Kincaid
questions her story. When menacing hate mail arrives, Josh’s professional
concern for Abby soon evolves into an intense attraction, and the feeling is
mutual. And now Josh wonders if her psychic visions are of crimes past—or a
premonition of terrors to come.
To survive, Abby and Josh must uncover the truth and stop a killer . .
. before Abby’s worst nightmares come true.
Excerpt:
The knife had obviously been there a long time, nestled in
the dust bunnies and wood shavings between the walls, in the space one of the
two mahogany doors that separated the Victorian-style living room from the
Brady Bunch décor of the family room usually slid back into. And it was covered
with blood.
Abby Langford leaned the broom she’d used to fish out the
knife against the wall, then picked the knife off the floor and studied it.
Despite the day’s warmth and the sunlight streaming through the picture window,
a gloomy chill engulfed the room. She could almost feel the steel blade
scraping down her spine, raising goose bumps on her shoulders and arms.
This knife had killed someone.
Then she shook herself, dispelling most of the prickly cold.
As usual, she was letting her imagination run wild. This wasn’t some menacing
murder weapon, but an ordinary kitchen knife, with a nine-inch steel blade and
a wood handle that looked parched enough to absorb a cup of mineral oil. The
blood consisted of a few reddish-brown splotches on the blade, splotches that
to her looked too smeared to be rust. It could be old food, though, something
like dehydrated ketchup or oxidized chocolate. Or even blood, but from a rare
steak, not a human.
Another shiver slithered across Abby’s shoulder blades.
Because if this were an innocuous kitchen knife, why had someone hidden it so
carefully?

Paty,
I’m thrilled that you’re featuring my debut novel DANGEROUS AFFAIRS today on your blog. Thanks so much.
I’ll check back later to answer any questions.
I noticed that you grew up in Oregon. My husband’s an avid windsurfer, and one of his best friends lives in Hood River, so we’ve spent a lot of time out there. Oregon is such a gorgeous state!( I also noticed you were influenced by Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney, two of my personal faves when I was growing up).
Again, thanks for hosting me today. I really appreciate it.
Diana, Glad to have you here today! Also wonderful to have someone who knows a little about the state I love.
Sounds like a very exciting read.
