A reviewer gives “88 Guys for Coffee” 5 stars! “Read it, laugh with it, roll with it, this is a sparkling gem for sure!”
Abandoned – no, dumped from her 7-year marriage, Laura’s self-worth was in tatters. Some people land on their feet. She landed on the kitchen floor in a puddle of frozen yogurt.
Longing to find her true partner in life, Laura takes a deep breath and plunges into online dating. Oh my. What a roller coaster. Only with the aid of modern technology could you line up this many frogs to kiss.
Hilarious and heartbreaking, soul-searching and spiritual, “88 Guys for Coffee” is loosely based on the author’s own 5-year online dating saga. The horror stories are true, bizarre, and laugh-out-loud funny.
Top 1% Goodreads reviewer Dianne Bylo* said, “Should I laugh? Should I cry? Laugh until I cry? Grab a cup of coffee, wear your most comfy clothes and hang out the DO NOT DISTURB sign because this is a tale of the heart and soul… Humorous, heartbreaking, eye-opening and filled with some truly wickedly funny scenes… Read it, laugh with it, roll with it, this is a sparkling gem for sure!” *

Car Wreck – How You Got Rear-Ended, Run Over, & Crushed by the U.S. Auto Industry
2010: This was a fun project. Mark asked Diane to do: take his reams of information, tips, rants, and articles written over the years, and create an easy to read, humorous, yet helpful book. As the owner of nine franchised dealerships, Mark Ragsdale is undeniably an expert on what he calls “shysters of finance, politics, and greed, who have wrecked the industry and abused your tax dollars.” Diane helped him share his vast personal knowledge of the U.S. car industry.
This project was like juggling a giant jigsaw puzzle! But very rewarding to pull it all together.
Are you interested in writing a book? Need ghost-writing or editing or collation and formatting? Although Diane is very busy with many projects, if she is interested enough in the subject, she may be the right ghost-writer or editor for you!
