Dianne was once asked what kind of animal she would be, if she could be an animal. The person who asked the question was shocked when Dianne said she’d like to be a dragon. There are times in everyone’s life when being able to fly high and breathe fire sound very appealing. However, if you can’t be a dragon, or have a dragon as a pet, then the next best thing is to write books with dragons in them and get a dog. Dianne lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband Doug, his three cats and her beloved dog Thomas. Thomas gets Dianne out walking almost every day, which is the next best thing to flying on dragon wing.

It really thrilled me when I heard of a family reading it on their way to grandma's house. Mom, dad, teenage girl and middle grade boy all enjoyed the story. I was also thrilled to hear that a school has a copy in the library and that the teens are telling one another that it is a worth while book to read. (less)

Characters with a mind of their own

When I was writing 'Ben and the Watcher of Zargon' I became concerned that the book was getting too dark. To solve that problem I went back and wrote in a new character. I thought the brownie would soften the book a little. He was just supposed to be a minor character with a walk-on/walk-off part to play. However, Moses, as he was named near the end of the book, had a mind of his own and turned in Read more of this blog post »

“May the light of the Guardian dwell in you always, and may you be a source of light in those places where shadows gather. (Mariah Templeton, Earth's Watcher to Ben)”
Dianne Astle, Ben the Dragonborn

“Listening to people espouse beliefs different from mine is informative, not threatening, because the only thing that can alter my worldview is a new and undeniable truth, and contrary to what Jack Nicholson says in 'A Few Good Men', "I CAN handle the truth.”
Michael J. Fox, Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist

“My notion of spirituality was different than it is now, but even if I'd been the most fundamentalist of believers, I would have assumed that God had better things to do than arbitrarily smite me with shaking palsy.”
Michael J. Fox, Lucky Man

“To be brutally honest, for much of that time, I was the only person in the world with Parkinson's. Of course, I mean that in the abstract. I had become acutely aware of people around me who appears to have the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but as long as they didn't identify with me, I was in no rush to identify with them. My situation allowed, if not complete denial, at least a thick padding of insulation.”
Michael J. Fox, Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist
