Biography

She carries on the tradition of her kinfolk, the storytelling magic guaranteed to rob hours of sleep and make the night come alive. Only the brave dare step into her world to listen. And sometimes, the voices still whisper...

Smashwords book reviews by Tommie Lyn
- Quicksand! A Christian Romance
on Aug. 29, 2011
I'm not usually a reader of romance, but I enjoyed Quicksand by Diane Adams. There was much more going on in the story than just the attraction between Emily and the handsome "new teacher on the block," and that kept the pages turning, made the story interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery element in the story, I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
- A Hole in the Fence - Christian Fiction for Kids
on Aug. 29, 2011
This is a very poignant story of children who have struggles and losses, and how they overcome them. Very touching.
- Miss Eden's Garden - Christian Romance
on Oct. 15, 2011
Miss Eden's Garden was a such a fun read! It is a delightful mix of romantic suspense and mystery. Adams skillfully wove the threads of the story and had me wondering "whodunit" all the way to the end. So many characters had motive and opportunity...and it was a fun ride all the way through the story to the discovery of the culprit! I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
