“Writing makes her heart sing!” is how Dianne Ellis describes her motivation to write. Dianne has written poetry and stories all her life and has recently tapped into the wondrous world of children’s imaginations. She loves reading her stories to children, watching as they become absorbed in her characters and words. Dianne lives in a cosy village on the east coast of Australia and looks forward to continuing to write books that children will read, enjoy, and remember.
