Meet the Author

I'm the author of 18 "traditionally published" novels. I'm a former medical social worker and psychotherapist, but I've been a full-time writer now for a long time. I live in North Carolina with my significant other and two crazy Shelties.

I want to make my older, out-of-print books available to my readers, so I'm launching one of my favorites, Secret Lives, as my e-book experiment. Enjoy!

    Very good book!

    I love all of Diane Chamberlain books. This one had some controversial subject matter but it all works out in the end. She does a great job of getting you to relate to the characters and makes you wonder what you would do in the same situation. Great book! Keep on writing!

    This book is great!

    Chamberlain hits the mark again with this moving tale of a woman who delves into her mother's past, only to discover things about herself she never knew, and that she will have to come to grips with. Beautifully written with enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing.

    Very good, really good reading.

    A little slow at first but once it gets really going you can't put it down. Great ending!

    Unusual and a great read

    I read this book a few years ago and loved it. The location is close to where my grandparents lived when i was growing up, and close to the boarding school where i speent my teens, so. the Shenandoah Valley feels like home. I,ve even been able to explore some of the smaller caves on my own. I started to read the sample to make sure it wasn,t the same book. It is, but happily I plan to down load and read it again.

    Excellent!

    Although I finished this book last week, I still cannot stop thinking about it. I almost want to pick it back up and read it again. I know I will at some point. Diane Chamberlain's books have a way of drawing you in and this one certainly did. This book never let me put it down. There were times when I felt like I was in the book. She makes this story so real. Like it could have happened to you. This was only the 4th Diane Chamberlain book I have read and they just keep getting better and better. I have vowed to continue to read all her books.
