Big Hair Contest!
 Diane's Mom (who grew up in Texas, where "big hair" rules!) The bigger the hair, the closer to God!
In conjunction with the upcoming June 26th release of Death, Taxes, and Extra-Hold Hairspray, I’m hosting a “Big Hair” contest! Make your hair big (or find a fun wig), take a photo, and email it to me at diane@dianekelly.com. Entrants will be featured on the site and winners will receive free copies of the book and fun prizes!
Delightful Day in Derby!
 I had a wonderful time Saturday in Derby, Kansas! Met lots of great folks, including this mother-daughter pair. Do I have the best-looking fans or what?
The staff at the Derby library were very welcoming and gracious hosts. I appreciate all their work on the event! As an added bonus, they took me to the Watermark Bookstore for lunch. Great food named after literary masterpieces and a very quaint store. Be sure to check it out if you’re ever in the Derby area. http://www.watermarkbooks.com/
I have to admit that I’m suffering extreme library envy after seeing the Derby facility. Lots of computers, video games for checkout, big-screen televisions, a totally rockin’ teen area, not to mention lots of great books, of course - the place has it all! The people of Derby are lucky to have such a wonderful library facility along with hard-working staff who are clearly dedicated to making sure their library provides great diversity in resources.
More Books!
Looks like there will be three more Tara Holloway books! I’m so excited! We’re hammering out the details now, but it’s looking like there will be a novella between books #3 and #4, with Book #4 coming out in February of 2013 and #5 and #6 following at four-month intervals thereafter. I can’t wait to get Tara in lots more trouble . . . : )

Happy News!
This has nothing to do with books, but it’s a happy story so I’m passing it on!
