Welcome to Diane Moore's writing.  On this website, you'll find:

      • Updates: In the late '90s, I wrote a series of articles exposing a San Antonio nurse impostor. After being convicted and serving time, she was still at it in 2005. See my published writing and if you are a healthcare provider, please do extensive background checks before you hire.   
      • On my novel, After attending an awesome  conference with award-winning author Cecil Murphy ("90 Minutes in Heaven"), I am completing the novel in a snappier tone. 
        Heroine Deirdre Morgan is in tight spots, which she gracefully turns to her advantage. Hero Stuart Beaumont continues to try to protect her, but his boss, the Police Chief, continues to put Deirdre at the forefront of the homicide investigation.
      • Latest News: Have submitted the novel "Love Thy Neighbor" to several publiishers and am awaiting news.  No news is good news, and the mss was submitted a few months ago.  
        I continue to stay active with local writers' and critique groups, which has really been positive for the deeper development of heroine Deirdre Morgan and hero Stuart Beaumont.
        And, in 2010 I will serve as publicity and communications director for the Alliance of the San Antonio District Dental Society.
      • I will attend the American Christian Fiction Writer's Conference in September 2010. The 2009 conference was awesome!  Met great authors, Candace Calvert (from Boerne), Rene Gutteridge (BOO! Series, "The Ultimate Gift" novella), Mary DeMuth and many more. What fun! Also met with Editors from major Publishing Houses.  All liked my manuscript and a few asked about making it a series. So, I'll keep you posted. I also met with a great Agent. Watch for updates here and on my blog.
      • Published Writing: See published news and magazine articles that range from non-fiction investigative reports and news items on various topics, including parenting, mental health issues, ortodontics and dentistry, medical breakthroughs, inspirational stories about local heroes, especially in Tae Kwon Do Times and Inside Karate.
      • New Books features exclusive excerpts from upcoming fiction and non-fiction works.
      • Sample Writing and Reviews: Read latest excerpts from my romance/mystery novel in the works. I'll let you know when it is sold to a publisher and when it will available for sale in bookstores.
