“Wow. That book was the best book I've read in a while! It caught my attention from the very beginning and kept it throughout the book. I couldn't put it down. Great book. I cannot wait to read the second book. And I can't wait for Jake and Kandide to get married.”—Anada Keith, Student


Kandide’s Great Give-away!
Four stunning pieces of art can be yours for FREE!

So many of you have emailed me about getting prints of the incredible artwork from my book, Kandide and the Secret of the Mists, by Australian faerie artist, Maxine Gadd.

Great news, now you can—for FREE! A $60.00 value and Diana will hand sign each print. Plus Bonus gifts worth another $55.00—that’s a $115.00 value all FREE!

We have selected the four most popular characters, Kandide, Princess Tara, Lady Aron, and Cyndara (from Book 2) and reproduced them as beautiful, limited edition, 11x14 full-color prints. Each print regularly sells for $20.00 or the complete set for $60.00.

You can get all four prints for NO charge (we even pay postage) as part of the publisher’s special, limited time, in-store Barnes and Noble promotion.

Here’s how…

  • Purchase one copy of Kandide and the Secret of the Mists ($9.99 plus tax) from any Barnes & Noble store in your area before October 1, and we will send you two of the prints, Kandide and Tara at NO cost.

Collect All Four Prints

  • Purchase two copies of Kandide and the Secret of the Mists, one for you and one for a friend, (they make great stocking stuffers and birthday gifts) and you will receive the entire set of four beautiful prints—a $60.00 value—at No Cost. My publisher will even pay the shipping.

And There’s More…

  • You will receive these special bonus gifts: A signed bookplate and bookmark for each book, plus a free pair of tickets to FaerieCon at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA. October 10-12, 2008 – a $50 value.
