Have
I got a story for you? Why, yes, yes, I do.
I
found a high school classmate at Facebook. Diane Taylor and I (Cathy Thomas
back then), shared a locker our freshman and sophomore years. Diane enjoyed
reading historical novels, as I recall. I read any work of fiction I could get
my hands on, many from the list of recommended literature for the college
preparatory classes—which I wasn’t assigned to. (I don’t know why I wasn’t.)
Anyway,
when we graduated from high school, I lost contact with many of my classmates,
including Diane. A few weeks ago I found her on a friend’s FB page. I followed the
link, requested her as a friend and discovered she lives in Sarasota, Florida,
is a retired elementary school principal and is widowed. She also has just
published her first work of fiction and is doing interviews and booksignings.
She has a booksigning in Kent, Ohio on June 2. I’d like to go, plunk down my
money, get an autographed copy of her book to add to my collection of
autographed books and talk shop with her.
Oh,
yeah. I haven’t told her of my writing interests that are so similar to hers:
women’s literature, romance and spirituality. How about THAT for the DAHS Class
of 1971? You can read about Diane at http://dianeadamstaylor.com/.
Congrats,
Diane Adams Taylor! I’m thrilled for you
and can’t wait for my turn!
