| Maya (Dianne)
Dianne has lived in Tauranga in New Zealand for the past five years. She and her husband plan to move back north (upper part of the North Island) to be close to family. She trained as a journalist (concentrating on feature writing) after raising four children and running a dairy farm with her husband. Dianne finds writing is easier on the back than lifting bales of hay and bobby calves, but suggests that the brain works equally as hard when it comes to writing!
