Diane Brandow

Diane Brandow was born in Des Moines, Iowa, and has spent most of her life in Iowa except for seven years when she lived in Southern California. That was a dream she was grateful to experience, and which is where The Color of Tears turned into a dream story.

She has always had a love for songwriting and has written and composed over a hundred songs, but never felt the need to achieve recognition as a songwriter. As she's always said: it was personal satisfaction and at times, a way of healing a broken heart or learning how to deal with life in general. Sometimes her songs simply made a statement.

So, with a never ending love for writing, it would only seem natural that one day she would take those stories she carried in her head, and turn them into books. The one thing she's decided not to worry about is critics. As she has said: they'll be there. Take it with a grain of salt because you can't please everyone.

Diane also has an undeniable love for animals, and, if she could, would save every homeless animal on the planet. She believes in adopting from shelters because there are so many loveable animals that need good homes. She herself, has taken in several stray cats that were starving. They now have a pretty good home, plenty of food, and a warm, safe place to sleep.

She hopes to move back out west, either to Northern Colorado or Wyoming, and with a bit of determination, she'll accomplish that too.
