Dianne lives in Central Florida with her husband,
two children and part-time Yellow Lab-Cody boy! When not whacking
away at her keyboard crafting her next novel you'll find her
in the family's organic garden chasing grasshoppers and plucking
hornworms.
A girl's gotta have fun, right?
When she's not knee-deep in dirt or romance,
Dianne contributes garden advice for various websites and volunteers
in her kids' school garden (a crazy existence to be sure). But
at the end of the day, if she can inspire someone to stop and
smell the roses-or rosemary!-kiss their child and spouse good-night,
be kind to a neighbor and Mother Earth, then she's done all
right.

5 blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies
An emotion-packed read, JENNIFER’S GARDEN
is a witty, sexy contemporary romance that will grab your attention
from the very first page and won’t let go until the very
satisfying conclusion. Talented author Dianne Venetta will touch
your heart with this moving tale. Reading this book is a terrific
way to spend an afternoon, escaping your daily cares to engross
yourself in this wonderfully well-written romance. Although
I did not care for Jennifer and her snobbish ways in the beginning,
this soon changed as the story evolved. Jax was also put off
by her attitude in the beginning, but working for her and seeing
her daily, he began to know her as a person and his attraction
to her increased exponentially. A delightful read filled with
characters who come to life right before your eyes, a tearjerker
plot, humor, grief, sexual chemistry, friendship, detailed settings
and plenty of love, JENNIFER’S GARDEN is a book not to
be missed! This is the first book I have read by this gifted
author, and I look forward to reading her more of her works.

Keep a look out for
LUST ON THE ROCKS by Dianne Venetta — coming soon!
She has what he needs, and he won’t stop until he gets
it. Trouble is, what begins as a matter of death, becomes a
matter of life.
One case away from partnership, Samantha Rawlings is forced
to share her high-profile case with a sexy younger man, whose
eyes are on a different prize. In the best interests of her
client, Sam opens the door to his strategy. Turns out, a little
too far…
Victor Marin has ulterior motives. The defendant in her case
holds the key to his revenge, and his last chance for justice.
But as he chases old demons, he uncovers a powerful woman with
no inhibitions, one he wants to possess for himself. But decidedly
single, Sam wants no part.
Until Vic walks away.

A
couple of years ago, I received an unexpectedly tough
rejection. As an aspiring author querying agents and
editors, you become accustomed to rejections with the
understanding that each "no" brings you-hopefully!-that
much closer to a yes. Well, this one pierced the elephant
skin and squashed my enthusiasm.
It
was tough. So, in order to gain some clarity, I decided
to "step away from the beast" and take a break
from my writing and walked straight into my garden,
the new venture I had started with the help of my more
experienced gardener neighbors. Next thing you know,
I'm a gardening fool growing every vegetable I can get
my hands on! Totally organic, of course. I have kids
and I'm mindful of what goes into their little bodies.
But
the mind never stops and I started coming up with all
sorts of analogies between plants and life, plants and
kids and men-oh yes, definitely men. You'd be amazed
by the similarities. One thing led to another and now
I host a garden blog at BloominThyme! Well, once I hit
the keyboard it didn't take long for me to find my way
back to my characters. Sassy little things.

Q: Describe the "perfect"
hero? What about the "perfect" hero for
you?
My perfect hero is kind-hearted,
good-looking, strong and easygoing. He smiles a
lot, always has an ear ready to listen…and he
remembers the little things. But he's no pushover.
He knows what he wants and he'll get it-if he chooses
to go after it (or her, as the case may be).

Fall,
hands down. Love the crisp cool air-probably because 3-4
months of Florida heat is enough to flatten any girl's
sunshiny spirit! Not to mention her hair. But when the
leaves change and warm cozy fireplaces light up, well,
that's a strong lure for any romantic. Add some apple
cider, pumpkin pie (whipped cream on mine, please) and
a soft furry blanket-I'm set for days!
Unfortunately,
I revel in this delight on a tourist basis only.
