Funny.  Feisty.  Fiction.  

Welcome to the site of Diane Kelly, winner of the 2009 Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart® Award!

The second novel in Diane’s humorous “Death and Taxes” romantic mystery series is now available in bookstores and online.  Death, Taxes and a Skinny No-Whip Latte, received a 4-star review from Romantic TimesSingle Title Reviews loves the book, too!  Read an excerpt or order it now. 

Got Big Hair?  In conjunction with the June 26th release of Death, Taxes, and Extra-Hold Hairspray, Diane is hosting a “Big Hair” contest!  Make your hair as big as possible (or find a fun wig), take a photo, and email it to diane@dianekelly.com.  Photos will be featured on the site and winners will receive free copies of the book and fun prizes! 

If you missed out on the adventures of IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway the first time around, you can still pick up the first book in the “Death and Taxes” series, Death, Taxes, and a French Manicure at most major retailers. Read an excerpt, enjoy the “Fun Stuff” on the book’s page, or order it now. Here’s what they’re saying at Romance Reviews Today!

Reader to Reader says:  Kelly imbues her writing with an addictive sense of wit, and Tara’s adventures in detection are laugh-out-loud funny. Not only does Kelly deliver a wonderfully quirky yet completely believable cast of characters including Tara’s boss Lu Lobozinski, who threatens to steal the whole show, but the book’s exceptionally entertaining plot strikes the perfect balance between high-stakes danger and sexy romance. This totally terrific debut is better than a refund check from the IRS!
