Welcome to my author page! My name is Diane Matlick and I live in northern New Jersey with my husband and two children. My first book, Summer Tour, is a coming of age story about a group of friends following their favorite band the summer before they graduate college. My second book, Winter Break, is the sequel. Happy reading everyone!

I'm sure the kids from book one will make cameos, but I don't have any specific plans for them right now.

Thanks for the question!(less)

I don't, I'm pretty close to finished with my first draft, but i edited and rewrote Summer Tour for 6 months, so it probably won't be until the fall. I'll definitely keep you posted! And... my friends have all given me their theories on book 2 but no one has been right about who is on 'the quest' (it is someone from book 1) (less)

I always hope to have a good book to read on Mother’s Day or my bday and this one really hit! It’s very quirky as I love, has a dysfunctional family, a few coming of age stories, and it was just really heartwarming and funny. Highly recommend!

This one was just ok for me. Well written but not particularly compelling with characters that were nice but not complex and so I had trouble staying engaged
Diane Matlick is on page 229 of 323 of Lost Lambs: “I wouldn’t light that in here” 🤣🤣🤣 never a good thing to get from your kid 🤣🤣

“He is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen and it's not about his face, but the life force I can see in him. It's the smile and the pure promise of everything he has to offer. Like he's saying, 'Here I am world, are you ready for so much passion and beauty and goodness and love and every other word that should be in the dictionary under the word life?' Except this boy is dead, and the unnaturalness of it makes me want to pull my hair out with Tate and Narnie and Fitz and Jude's grief all combined. It makes me want to yell at the God that I wish I didn't believe in. For hogging him all to himself. I want to say, 'You greedy God. Give him back. I needed him here.”
