Sequel to Nicolas



Jamie has been with Nicolas for a year now, an enchanting year of new experiences and personal growth. Though living with a legend isn't always easy. Nicolas spends his days helping the needy of the world, and with the Christmas season winding to an end, he's been busier than ever, and gone from home more often than Jamie would like.



Luckily, Twelfth Night is Nicolas's last trip of the season, then they can have more time together. Jamie wants to make Nicolas's return a special occasion, a date night to show his lover how much he appreciates and admires, as well as loves, him.



But Nicolas is magic and wonder, and often draws the attention and jealousy of other beings like himself. Frau Perchta is one, the Krampus's counterpart, the Winter Goddess, who rewards the good, but doles out lethal punishment to those who keep a messy home. Unfortunately, she has set her sights on Jamie. Will Jamie's home live up to her expectations, or will she be inclined to punish him, thus punishing Nicolas as well?



Dianne grew up in one of the older homes in the middle of Los Angeles, a place of hardwood floors and secret closets and back staircases. A house where ghosts lurk in the basement and the faces in the paintings watch you walk up the front stairs. Rooms where you keep the closet doors closed tight at night. It's where her love of the mysterious and wonderful came from. Dianne is the author of m/m romance, paranormal/suspense, fantasy adventure, the occasional thriller, and anything else that comes to mind.



She now lives in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon with her incredibly patient husband, who puts up with the endless hours she spends hunched over the keyboard letting her characters play. Dianne says Oregon's raindrops are the perfect setting in which to write. There's something about being cooped up in the house with a fire crackling on the hearth and a cup of hot coffee in her hands, which kindles her imagination.



Currently, Dianne works as a floral designer in a locally-owned gift shop. Which is the perfect job for her. When not writing, she can express herself through the rich colors and textures of flowers and foliage.
