Come meet
visiting author Diane Hester. Diane is a US
citizen currently living in Australia.
Her new release Run to Me has just
been named as a finalist in the 2014 Daphne du Maurier Awards for Excellence in
Mystery/Suspense writing. The story is set in New England – Boston, New
Hampshire, and northern Maine - and features Shyler O’Neil, a mother who has
lost her son when another threatened boy comes into her life.
Before Diane Hester started her writing
career, she was a professional violinist. She has performed in Carnegie Hall,
the NY Metropolitan Opera House, Eastman Theatre, the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne Town Hall,
Adelaide Festival Theatre and accompanied artists as diverse as Isaac Stern,
Itzak Perlman, Chuck Mangioni and Australia’s Little River Band.
In 1989 Diane realized her childhood dream
to live in the country when she and her family moved to a small farm outside
Port Lincoln, South Australia. There she switched from performing to teaching
violin and explored other creative outlets including gardening, spinning,
knitting and carpentry. An animal lover, she also ran a donkey sanctuary for
several years and dabbled in harness driving and riding.
But since discovering writing, Diane has
done little else. When she isn’t hard at work at her latest novel she’s
planning her critique group’s next retreat or a workshop for her local writing
club. Run To Me, her debut novel,
combines a love of Hitchcock-style suspense with memories of summer vacations
in New England, her favorite place on earth.
