Dianne Freeman is a historical mystery author and former accountant who always wanted to be a mystery author. After all, accounting is just solving a mystery using numbers. Characters are a lot more fun though. Her debut novel, A Lady's Guide To Etiquette And Murder, the first in the Countess of Harleigh Mysteries, will be released by Kensington Books in July 2018.

Dianne's a native of Michigan, where you use your hand as a map, but now she and her husband pursue the endless summer and divide their time between Michigan and Arizona. Wherever she is, she'll be reading, writing, gardening, or golfing.
