Diane Rapp became an entrepreneur when she started her own dog grooming salon in Santa Barbara, California. She spent the next thirty years as a small business owner; she sold real estate, started an office supply/copy center, and performed free-lance advertising design. During all those years Diane wrote stories as a cure for insomnia. After writing a tour guide book to the Caribbean together, Diane’s daughter gave her the idea of writing a mystery set on cruise ships in the Caribbean. "Murder Caribbean-Style" and "Murder on a Ghost Ship" are the first two novels of a High Seas Mystery series. Readers meet the main characters of the series and learn about life aboard a ship while solving murders. There is danger and romance mixed in with the action. The third book in the series, "Murder for Glacier Blue" was released in August of 2013. The novel takes the reader on a cruise to Alaska with an art heist, murder, and a wedding planned for Glacier Bay. Diane also writes a science-fantasy series featuring telepathic wolves, dragons, and space explorers trying to carve out a life on a planet that rejected technology. There are knights, kings, queens, and villains ready to kill people who they don’t understand. For fun Diane wrote a fractured fairy tale "Dragon Knight". When an unreasonable witch turns Dragon into a knight, he sets out on a quest to aid a sorceress-in-training defeat an evil demon. They must save two realms before he can regain his true form and live in a sulfurous cavern once more. This book also contains two futuristic short stories, suitable for kids and adults.
