My next novel, a thriller entitled "Claim Denied" is coming soon. Email me at Diann@DiannAbroad.com for an advanced copy and/or for launching information.
"The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron (Three morning pages.) Note, I reference writing three morning pages but, to be clear, I didn't include it as a strategy for improving tennis ... only for addressing my writer's block.
