For decades I have enjoyed the beauty and solitude of cemeteries. The
living are respectful and quiet there and the dead are well…they are at
peace…at least most of them are…or are they? So many stories in a
graveyard. As they say, it is the dash between the birth date and the
death date that matter. I want to know those stories. I want to know the
history of how and why we remember those lost. What do the items we adorn head stones with mean? Every trip to a cemetery is a journey.
And who am I? Hi, I’m Diane. Not only am I a taphophile, but I am
the former host of the award winning political internet radio show, The
Freedom’s Wings Show, which has had over 100,000 downloads and continues
to garner 500 to 1,000 downloads a week in archives. I hosted that for
five years until I became weary of politics. Now I’ve moved my talents
on to podcasting and sharing a passion for history and graveyards. I
love anything steampunk and I craft jewelry and accessories – like the
goggles I’m sporting in the picture – with a steampunk theme. I am
currently writing my first young adult science fiction, speculative
faction, fantasy novel set in a post-apocalyptic steampunk world. I
also am working on a non-fiction cemetery book. And to maintain all of
this, I run my own company!
