I’ll be starting my podcast soon- please check back on our site or social media for updates. Better yet- sign up for our newsletter and follow our socials, too!

One question I have often had was, “why do you write?”. And the answer is simple. I feel the need to write. Sometimes I need to write for children, other times I’m working on my science fantasy books, and quite often I’m writing for my websites. I write because I feel the need.

To be honest, I know that not every word I write will be read. But my hope is that those who do read my writings will find them useful, helpful, entertaining, or maybe all of these. While they are my words, I write for others to read.

But like many of you, I am also a reader. I absorb all the reading I am able to.I love science fiction, science fantasy, and some mysteries. Give me a book about dogs or other animals and I’m already immersed. 

Still, I enjoy non-fiction, too. As a child, I read every book in our home, including most of the “Book of Knowledge”. I think ours was the 1963 edition. I love learning new things and reading brings that opportunity directly to me. 

So I’ll continue to read and to write. It’s just who I am. Some people feel a need to create visual art such as painting or pottery. Others might be designing furniture. 

For me, it’s writing. 

So please join me on this journey. I invite you to follow my social media, my website, and my newsletter. I also write on Medium.com as both Diane Kann, author and also DM Volans, the pseudonym I use for my science-fantasy books. Occasionally, I’ll add an article to my LinkedIn account, too. 

One last thought– please write to me occasionally. I love hearing from my readers! And yes, I will respond personally. I greatly appreciate readers who take the time to reach out and I’ll reciprocate, likewise.

Til next time….

Open a page or a book and enjoy a bit of time immersed in reading.
