I just added a new post to the "Chatting with" series on "Rosa is for Romance".

Diane Gaston: A Road Story?

"Ciao, Everyone

I am thrilled to be a guest on Rosa is for Romance. About ten years ago, shortly after I started writing, I visited Rome and Venice and I wanted to buy my writing friends Italian Romance novels as souvenirs. I looked in every bookstore I passed and I had almost given up when I found them at a newsstand at the train station. Little did I know that years later on those same newsstands would be selling The Mysterious Miss M, The Wagering Widow, A Reputable Rake, and Innocence and Impropriety. And soon The Vanishing Viscountess, I hope.

My husband is half-Italian and grew up close to his Italian grandparents. The family names are Pannuto and Cefola, both from Northern Italy. My mother in law, the first to be born in the USA, gets a big kick out of seeing my books in Italian. The family even has an Italian saint, Saint Gerardo, as an ancestor. One of my most prized possessions is a china cabinet that my husband´s great-grandmother brought over from Italy. It still has most of the original glass. My mother-in-law has most of the other Italian family treasures, some beautiful items that I am sure would look very familiar to you Italian readers. On my website you can see my husband in my wedding photo. He looks very Italian and that is good, because I think Italian men are handsome.

I began writing Romance because it was what I most loved to read. I´m glad that you all love Romance too. There is nothing like a love story with a happy ending!

I´m happy to be visiting with you.

Diane"
