Diane E.  Tatum began writing in grade school with short mystery stories,  a play  performed by her sixth grade class, and a dictionary of supernatural beings.   High school found her  writing serial fiction with her friends, including  developing characters and plot lines through hand-written notes.  
 
Gold Earrings is an outgrowth  of a short story written in a high school creative writing class, More  historical Christian  novels are in the works; most are part of an historical series.      
  
Diane has written many assigned pieces for Lifeway,  including  curriculum, devotions, and assigned articles for leadership magazines.  She has also branched out into freelance publication including poetry, leadership articles, a story for teens,  and helps for parents.  In addition  to her writing career, Diane  taught middle school language  arts for 11  years.  She has worked as a church  youth group leader and  worker since 1981. Her recent “retirement” from teaching  allows her to focus on her own writing.

Diane and her husband, Ken,  live in Tullahoma,  Tennessee. They have two sons and daughters-in-law, one couple in Marietta, GA,  and one in Crofton, MD. We now have three grandsons: Ethan was born in Bethesda on 9/10/2013, Kellan was born in Atlanta on 3/ 7/2014, and Paul was born in Annapolis on 6/29/2015!
