- About Me:
- Known as “Spunk On A Stick”, L. Diane Wolfe conducts seminars on promoting, leadership and goal setting. Ten years associating with a motivation training system and her experience as a foster parent gave her the in-depth knowledge of relationships, personality traits and success principals. The author offers her seminars through community colleges, organizations and clubs. Wolfe travels the East Coast extensively for media interviews and speaking engagements. She averages over one hundred appearances each year, maintains a dozen websites & blogs, manages an online writer’s group, and contribute articles for several other sites. She also does characterization sessions for schools and speaks to writer’s groups.
Wolfe’s upcoming title, “Overcoming Obstacles With SPUNK! The Keys to Leadership & Goal-Setting”, is an inspirational self-help book. The author has tied all of her goal-setting and leadership seminar’s information together into one complete, enthusiastic package! Seven other authors also contributed to this title, which features the five keys to success and summary points for each chapter.
The author’s other work is a young adult series entitled The Circle of Friends. It follows a group of sports-minded couples through relationships, college and into their early careers. Meant to inspire as well as entertain, these books have been described as “encouragement personified”. This series feature morally grounded, positive stories that appeal to both teens and concerned parents. The stories intertwine as the characters learn that with belief and encouragement, they can achieve anything. Many of today’s young adult novels are salacious & controversial and glorify frequent sexual activity, negative attitudes, and deviant behavior. Wolfe’s series focuses on wholesome and uplifting stories that are suitable for adults and teens alike.
She began writing as a teenager and was inspired to return by the adage that everyone needs “something to hope for and someone to love”. The author loves people, and her optimism is fueled by her spunky, sanguine personality. A Christian and a vegetarian, Wolfe enjoys sports and has a passion for roller coasters. Growing up in Salem, Oregon, the author now resides North Carolina with her husband and two cats. She is self-employed and a professional photographer.
“With a positive attitude, any goal can be achieved!”

Things People Say and Do at Book Signings
Saturday was a Killer Career book signing at Barnes and Noble in Schaumburg. I just love the way they do their posters, by the way. Very professional looking.
It was 70 degrees outside, which is an unusual temperature for November. Needless to say, not everyone wanted to waste such a beautiful day by pending it inside a book shop.
The usual assortment of customers did come by, some asking me questions about how long it took to write my book, how I got started, and how many books I'd written.
Some said they'd never heard of me. I've heard that one before. (g)
What was surprising is that three children, not at the same time or with the same party, asked for my autograph - two on the back of bookmarks, one on a slip of paper. That usually doesn't happen. Maybe it's the economy. I don't know if their parents put them up to it, or if they thought of it themselves.
One person asked about my book and then said she doesn't buy from Barnes and Noble, but online instead. Since she was in the store, I can only assume she was scouting there for books first. I don't know.
Oh, yes, a variation on the restroom question was, "Where are the dictionaries?"
Another took the time to show me some missing pages in one of the magazines.
What about you? What questions have people asked you at book signings? Anything that stood out at a book signing you'd like to share?

Have to tell you: love your sign!
I am sending this to my BookPlace friends because Gremlins are out there, waiting for an opportunity to humiliate you. Here's how my newly released The Frugal Editor can help:
• Learn what annoys agents the most--straight from the mouths of the nation's best.
• Learn what your English teacher told you was OK but has changed since you were a Sophomore.
• Learn what is absolutely grammatically correct but will annoy publishers.
• Learn how to make your Spell and Grammar Check your partner instead of your enemy.
• Learn how to avoid the scams when you select an editor.
• Learn how to partner with your editor or your publisher's editor.
• Learn how to use hyphens, ellipses and all the other grungy little punctuation marks that English teachers avoided teaching because they didn't know how to use them either.
Peter Bowerman, author of the Well-Fed Writer series says, "Don't turn in anything until you turn to "The Frugal Book Promoter."

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my page. And yes, I do like to do booksignings, but right now I've had to stop. I'm still looking for a job, after which I will start the signings again.
