Dianne Baines said… Hey Kris, My new friend, great to meet you. I write a varied range of stories, but nearly always drift back to a good old murder. Please don;t let that scare you off though as I make it a rule not to let my writing life spill over into the 'real' world
-- well only occasionally.

My novel is complete...in its editing process. It's about a female truck driver who is hired to deliver a shipment of wine to a destination in Las Vegas and gets hijacked by terrorists, the very same men who hired her.
