about me

Thank you everyone who helped Pascual's Birthday to the Ed's desk.
I've been lucky enough to meet some amazing people here, and have gained the support of writers I really respect.

The journey to the desk is not easy, so I'll be taking a bit of recovery time. I've read a lot over the past months, so unless I owe you a read (please let me know), I'll be taking a break.

Instead, I dedicate my shelf to my wonderful friends with my warmest thanks. Andrew W and Steve H who have been with me since the very beginning, Jane Alexander for all her help, Geffordson for being the funniest running partner I could ask for, and the wonderful Fred Le Grand.

There are more including Mary White for helping me get to the desk, Jake Barton and B Worm for their endless support, Jeff Corkern for teaching me about commas and many more.

Acceptance speech over - I'll see you again soon.

Pascual's Birthday is complete but I haven't posted it all - one has to keep one's powder dry.

My Dad's excellent book - A Circle Has No End is now available on Amazon:

Although this isn't a genre I'd usually read, it's an interesting concept and the writing has a nice flow and pace. I'm popping you on my shelf and wishing you lots of luck. Diana Pascual's Birthday view book

Great title and a different concept. It reminded me a bit of Being Human (a ghost, werewolf and vampire living together). Not sure about the bold font, but the writing was engaging and moved along at a good pace. I'm giving you a spin on my shelf. Good luck! Diana Pascual's Birthday view book

I'm not sure this is the easiest font to read on screen. I'd also try to avoid the use of 'apostrophes' and italics where possible - your writing should create the emphasis without relying on punctuation. However, I really like the premise of the story, and you certainly have an engaging start to... view book
