The Lucien Saga - five tales about the kings who are rescued, kidnapped, ignored, and mocked by the girls they love. At first, little Elli despairs that the Outer World of Men has no Magic like her fairy Magic. But through Godmother’s telling of the five stories, she learns the Outer World of Men has something even better. And that is…?
For children aged 8 -14

I am Diane Nighswonger, and I love fantasy, science fiction, and happy endings. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 38 years, and we have 2 happily married children and 3 grandchildren, so far. I taught English, French, and journalism for 30 years and am now re-inventing myself as I work in a fashion boutique.

I wrote and directed 2 vacation bible programs and 3 Sunday School Christmas pageants. I also self-published beginner reader’s books about my father-in-law and my mother-in-law as children in rural Wyoming. I wanted my grandchildren to know about their Grandpa Tom and Grandma Shirley.

In June of 2017, I attended my first Wyoming Writer’s Conference and pitched my story, THE LUCIEN SAGA. Patricia Landy of Crystal Publishing offered me a contract three days later. April of 2019, I launched my book, after two years of learning, editing, creating a website, revising, adding a fifth story to the saga, editing some more, and working with wonderful people of the publishing business.

The tales I write are simple stories designed to entertain, to impart a good message, and perhaps to enchant just a little.
