By profession, I’m a technical writer, computer geek, and ex-interior designer. I’m good at two out of three of these things. I had the sense to quit the one I sucked at.
To deal with my mid-life crisis, I also write adventure novels featuring a middle-aged female protagonist, Aydan Kelly. And I kickbox.
This seemed more productive than indulging in more typical mid-life crisis activities like getting a divorce, buying a Harley Crossbones, and cruising across the country picking up men in sleazy bars. Especially since it’s winter most of the months of the year here.
It’s much more comfortable to sit at my computer. And hell, Harleys are expensive. Come to think of it, so are beer and gasoline.
Oh, and I still love my husband. There’s that. I’ll stick with the writing.
And, for the record, no, I’m not actually Aydan Kelly.
Here’s the geeky part of my life. And here’s the “serious” bio.

I found you on One Old Sage. Great blog!
Hi Lynette –
Welcome – thanks for visiting and commenting! I like One Old Sage, too, and I just realized he’s not on my blogroll. Off to remedy that right now!

You were wishing of a “free Harley motorcycle” back on my website? looks like you need to go camp out by this beach in Canada..lol

Wow, unbelievable! I don’t think I want a Harley that badly, though.
I know you got plenty of these so think of it as an honorable mention

Hey, thanks – I appreciate it!
Man, and all I do is post Music! And some fiery articles about our dying breed here in Mi. Thoroughbred Horse Racing. But since I think your sense of humor and mine are about as insane we could probably be millionaires writing comedy scripts. Some of my horse blogs with our tribe of horsemen & women here make for good subject matters. I’m not going through mid life crisis though, I’m in full blown perimenopause madness. Hide all the knives.
BTW it was a Horse’s Ghost in that old barn of yours. LOL
I’ll be reading the rest later.
Ha! I knew there had to be an explanation! Though… I’m not sure it explains the turds…
Thanks for visiting – it was great to “meet” you! I’m looking forward to lots more fabulous music on your blog.
You are a very accomplished person. It’s only your midlife point and you got this far? That is fantastic. I can’t wait to reading more about your adventures and whatever story comes your way. Maybe even a story of opening up your own speed shop
wouldn’t it be cool if it somehow became the Mecca for women bike riders? That would be so cool!
Let me test how good my Harley knowledge is. The picture on top of your webpage, is that the HD Softail Nighttrain?
Oh, good guess. Actually, it’s a 2010 Crossbones (the pipes aren’t staggered quite as much as the Night Train).
ooooh, thats the one with the darker “heritage” look? Softtail family is one area of the company I wish I worked in. All the years I’ve been with them, I never had that opportunity
Touring and softail bikes are my favorite motorcycles, by far.

Hi Diane,
Thanks for checking out my book. I will be checking yours out as well. I belong to an on-line writing website where I critique work in order to get others to critique mine. I’m currently reading 25 unpublished novels there, so it may be a while before I get to yours…but I will. The sample I read here looks very interesting…just the sort of book I like.
Thanks so much.
~Ann
Thanks, Ann! I know how you feel – my to-read pile is a constant temptation, but I’m trying to resist until I finish writing my latest novel. Soon. Very soon…

Hi Diane. Love your direct “about me page” your story definitely resinates with me – not the picking up men in sleazy bars bit, I will add. lol. My mid-life crisis has been happening for the past 5 years. I started MMA a couple of years ago, bought a motorbike and travelled. Now I have decided to start a new writing career instead of my doing my old boring job as a web developer. I am finding it far more satisfying. good luck with your writing and your new life.
Thanks, Bayley! Sounds like I’m in good company – good luck with your new life, too.
