New Reviews
From
www.wereallydig.com
"I know it's just been the books that
I've been reading lately, but it seems that many of the
recent contemporary books have been tired and not keeping my
full attention. The Family Next Door has
brought the life back and welcomed me home to Harmony
Circle. The first in a trilogy, this book starts out
fresh in idea and the characters feel so alive that you
could almost see them next door calling you over."
From
www.cataromance.com
"Thank you, Ms. Diamond, for this
touching narrative, The Family Next Door. I'll
be looking forward to more stories from Harmony Circle.

Jackie on the writing
life
My husband once
commented that I'd spent all day alone. That
surprised me, even though I had in fact been sitting in
my office that particular day, working on a novel--no
on-line chats, no teaching. But I was surrounded
by characters. My hero flirted with me. My
heroine confided her problems. Their friends and
colleagues and relatives paraded through my brain,
reminiscing and squabbling and demanding their share of
the spotlight.
What I really needed,
after a day at the computer, was some peace and quiet.

Can you believe this piece by Sylvia Hyman is entirely
made of clay?
Jackie's mother, ceramic sculptor Sylvia Hyman, 90, has
been named one of Nashville's most beautiful people over 40
by The Tennessean newspaper. She shares this
honor with Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Barbara
Mandrell and others.
From February 23 - May 24, several of Sylvia's pieces
are being shown in the "Made to Deceive: Trompe L'Oeil Art"
exhibit at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft in
Louisville. More information available
here.
A half-hour documentary about Sylvia by filmmaker Curt
Hahn has been accepted by the Montpellier, France, film
festival. A DVD can be ordered
here.
