Enjoying San Francisco as a backdrop, the ghosts in USA Today Bestselling Author Diane Rinella’s 150-year old Victorian home augment the chorus in her head. With insomnia as their catalyst, these voices have become multifarious characters that haunt her well into the sun’s crowning hours, refusing to let go until they have manipulated her into succumbing to their whims. Her experiences as an actress, business owner, artisan cake designer, software project manager, Internet radio disc jockey, vintage rock n’ roll journalist/fan girl, and lover of dark and quirky personalities influence her idiosyncratic writing.

My Battle Against Cyberbullying

Someone once told me there is truth tucked into every joke, comment, and piece of fiction. If this is true, fiction and reality go hand in hand.

After releasing Scary Modsters… and Creepy Freaks, [image error]getting traction on a new story seemed impossible. I strive to be original, and it felt like every time I sat at my computer, the same old love story popped out. Tried as I might to produce so

Quotes by Diane Rinella (?)

“No matter what transpires between us, in this life or in any other, I will be with you always. You really are my soul mate. We have traveled together before, and we will travel together again.”
― Diane Rinella, Love's Forbidden Flower

15 likes

“I love you, Lily. I fought so hard to be with you, and it was worth every smile, every tease, every bit of harassment, and every morsel of every moment. Those people out there who say we're sick and shouldn't be together, they're the sick ones. If us standing by each other all these years isn't the definition of love, then one does not exist.”
― Diane Rinella, Love's Forbidden Flower

13 likes

“So that precious romance we fought so hard for and cherished so much, it's dead and gone. Maybe we can catch each other in the next lifetime, or maybe it's buried forever. But I will always, always be in love with you. As for the rest of what we have, we'll see that again soon. We'll make sure of it.”
― Diane Rinella, Love's Forbidden Flower

Diane’s Quotes

“The nefarious frost that slithers around my spine brings forth concern that Donovan is regressing and needs to be put back on the funny farm, yet my heart longs to surrender in harmony with his madness. Without him, I will never be complete.”
― Diane Rinella, Time's Forbidden Flower

“Beholding the flash drive that may contain so many keys, intuition dawns: I’ve always been a butterfly trapped in Donovan’s net. My heart knows Donovan and I traveled together before, yet I’ve never allowed myself to think of the logistics. If the more I pull back, the more I crave his enclosure, what happens if I learn my deprivation has been for centuries, or even millenniums? Is being an old soul why I have always felt and sounded older than my years? Why do
I have the passions I do? How did I become me?”
― Diane Rinella, Time's Forbidden Flower

I'm trying to post here to see if this gets through, since your already listed among my friends Goodreads isn't offering me any more options.
