Hear us Roar

48: Diane Byington- Author of If She Had Stayed


Listen Later

After writing a well-received YA book, Diane decided to make a switch to women's fiction and wrote her novel primarily during NaNoWriMo for the sheer joy of exploring time travel and second chances. We discuss how important a close writing partner has been for her, not so much for trading pages, but to share the ups and downs of being an author.

Diane has been a tenured college professor, yoga teacher, psychotherapist, and executive coach. Also, she raised goats for fiber and once took a job cooking hot dogs for a NASCAR event. She still enjoys spinning and weaving, but she hasn't eaten a hot dog or watched a car race since. Besides reading and writing, Diane loves to hike, kayak, and photograph sunsets. She and her husband divide their time between Boulder, Colorado, and Dunedin, Florida.
