Dianne likes to explore in her writing, topics that are of interest to her, therefore she enjoys writing about different cultures, friendship and taking chances. She also likes to explore ideas from different perspectives and three of her books (Dolphin Song, Choices and Photographs in the Mud) are written from more than one point of view.
