Diane Tolley - Writer Diane, age one. Doing what she does best.
Diane was born and raised on a ranch in Southern Alberta. Literally, she learned to ride before she could walk. At a very early age, she discovered books and from there, writing, and has been obsessed with the printed word ever since. At the age of eight, she began her career as a writer, penning such opuses (opi?) as 'The Dream' and 'The Haunted House'.
 First birthday. With siblings and extras Ranch Life The Stringam Wagon Train
Much of her time was spent outside, among the horses and animals of the ranch.
Mostly getting into trouble. And giving her mother grey hair.  Diane and her Sweetie, Grant, dressed to kill. Really. Please. |
