edit data

Diane Barnes is the author of The Mulligan Curse (February 2025), All We Could Still Have, More Than, Waiting for Ethan, and Mixed Signals. She is also a marketing and corporate communication writer in the health care industry. When she’s not writing, she’s at the gym, running, or playing tennis, trying to burn off the ridiculous amounts of chocolate and ice cream she eats. She and her husband, Steven, live in New England with Oakley, their handsome golden retriever. She hopes you enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.

She can be found at www.dianembarnes.com or on Twitter and Instagram @DianeBarnes777. ...more

MORE THAN Is $0.99 This Week

Since my novel MORE THAN came out in late 2019, it has mostly been selling at full price. But now until March 4, the ebook version is only 99 cents. It's a great time to pick up a copy.
