Diane was a precocious, star-eyed dreamer, her mind forever adrift toward distant destinations and worlds yet unseen. With a gaze full of wonder, she harbored a fervent belief in a future where she would unravel the secrets of every unknown realm, daring to decipher their silent stories. Each illusion of uncharted terrains fueled her relentless hope, as she envisioned herself someday exploring their wonders firsthand, becoming a traveler of dreams and realities that lay beyond the limits of her known universe. She was never without a font of inspiration; what she lacked was the ability to turn off the tap before absently wandering off to another pool.

Now, ten years into a marriage steeped in gentle understanding and unspoken patience, she often teeters between worlds of thought, her mind a restless sea of inspiration. Allan, her steadfast anchor, softly reminds her to turn only one tap at a time, guiding her to steady her stream of ideas so they do not overwhelm her like an unstoppable flood. His quiet support and unwavering faith have transformed her chaotic dreams into the delicate tapestry of her first book in a nine-fold series, the Book of Grimm. It is through his kindness and the nurturing whispers of those around her that she learned to tame her boundless imagination—crafting a universe where dreams and realities coexist, forever echoing the delicate balance between inspiration and restraint.
