Dianne Castell is the author of multiple Harlequin American Romance novels and she's also recently begun writing for Kensington's Brava imprint. Her May 2005 debut as a Brava author was in the anthology Star Quality.
If you like her Harlequin American romances, then you'll surely love her Brava books. About all of her books, Dianne says, "The stories are always fun and exciting and a touch of mystery. The Brava books are longer and I get to develop the secondary characters more and they sometimes do things the hero and heroine would never do. A bit more wicked!"
Her Four O'Fallons and a Baby series guarantees her readers a dose of her trademark fun and sass. You'll meet Ryan, Keefe, and Quaid, three brothers who are coming home to O'Fallon's Landing to help their father, Rory, find an abandoned baby's mother...and you'll get to watch them fall in love.
The Four O'Fallons and a Baby series starts with Til There was U in November 2005, followed by The Way U Look Tonight and I'll Be Seeing U.
Dianne began writing after her daughter introduced her to romance novels--with a book that had been passed around her school as a supplement to sex-ed! "I started rewriting the stories I read," Dianne says. "I'd think 'What the heck! He wouldn't say that' or 'She wouldn't do that.' I hated the wimpy heroines and always rewrote them to kick butt and set the hero straight."
Four O'Fallons and a Baby isn't the only series Dianne has on the shelves right now. Her Harlequin American series Forty & Fabulous comes to an end next month with A Fabulous Wedding. You can still get your hands on A Fabulous Wife and A Fabulous Husband if you'd like--so don't let yourself miss these great reads!
Of Dianne's December 2004 Harlequin American Romance novel A Cowboy and a Kiss, our own reviewer said, "...there are love scenes so steamy they'll make you want a cowboy for yourself!"
It took Dianne nine years to sell her first book, but she's been published since 2001. Cowboys are a recurring theme in her stories, along with small-town USA. Zany situations (A Cowboy and a Kiss), strong heroines (A Fabulous Wife), and sexy stories (read 'em all) bring life and love to the forefront of every book she writes.
We're not the only ones who believe Dianne's books are not to be missed. Romantic Times Magazine has rated Dianne's books as a Top Pick more than once.
Dianne also writes the Up Close and Personal: Editor Interview column for Romance Writers Report, the magazine of Romance Writers of America.
