Press & Fans
"Diana's book, Kandide and the Secret of the Mists, reflects both our world as it is now, and a magical world taking action through the fight against darkness as we are transported into an enchanting adventure. My father, Michael Landon, strove to teach us the power of loving one another as we are, imperfections and all. Kandide is a brilliant adventure for truth seekers of all ages!" - Cheryl Landon, Street Corner Dreams Foundation, Author, Teacher, and Mother
"Kandide gives its readers one captivating, enthralling adventure after another." - The Los Angeles Newspaper Group
"Kandide is pure magic!" -- Lance Burton, internationally acclaimed magician
"Kandide & the Secret of the Mists is the first book of The Calabiyau Chronicles, a new young-adult fantasy series. The story is full of rousing adventure, romance, intrigue and magic. I predict it will be a great success. The book is very handsome, with heavy glossy pages and full-color character portraits." - Laurie Thayer, Rambles.NET
Kandide and the Secret of the Mists is that rare work of art that gives us permission to suspend belief and then paints a picture that rings as true as the morning newspaper or your next door neighbor. In this world obsessed with surface beauty, Zimmerman unfolds a story that teaches readers what true, unvarnished beauty really is. This book is a triumph of storytelling. I shall give nothing away... No spoilers. Read the book and be charmed, as I was!!!" – Vin Smith, “Book Show Radio Host”
“Kandide…will make great summer reading for the princess in your life” – Alan Caruba, Editor, Bookviews.com
“I give the book two thumbs up! Thank you for writing such a great book, you have a fabulous, amazing imagination.” - Zion Lashua Age 10
“Zimmerman’s character variety provides moral conflict amid a fantasy component, where life-changing epiphanies are discovered along with fanciful adventures in pomegranate meadows, palaces, dark woods, and underwater caverns. You’ll be absorbed into “Kandide and the Secret of the Mists” as if you were making the journey yourself. Zimmerman’s gentle, descriptive prose perches on the edge of poetry and at the crossroads of invention and imagination.” Jacqueline Monahan—Las Vegas Around the Clock
“Take my advice and pick up a copy of 'Kandide and the Secret of the Mists' as soon as it arrives in bookstores. I have a firm feeling that it is going to be the start of something special.” – Nick Lewin – New Zealand Magazine
