| Introduction | Welcome to my Goodreads Happy Place! I am a follower of Jesus Christ, a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am also a widely published novelist and former Adjunct Professor of Fiction Writing. I write novels, short stories, and poems for children and adults. I have been married for 54 years to a wonderful man who is a retired ER physician. We have two awesome daughters, two very smart sons-in-law, and seven precious grandchildren. When I'm not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, painting, playing the piano, and walking outdoors. I'd love for you to visit me at www.maryanndiorio.com where I host a blog for adults called "Winning with the Word.". My blog posts at "The Reader Connection" appear once a week at TheReaderConnection.blogspot.com. I created this blog to honor all readers, especially my own. My favorite book is the Bible, and my favorite Bible verse is John 8:32: "You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." I am eager to get to know my readers better. So please contact me at info@maryanndiorio.com. I'd love to hear from you! :) |
