Hola,
I'm so excited to be here today! Before all the fun begins, I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Diane Escalera and I write hot contemporary romance. My books are published with Kensington Publishing and Lyrical Press.
Unlike most authors, I didn’t know I was destined to write. In fact, I worked in banking for many years, but deep down knew that it wasn’t my dream job.
At the young age of thirty-five, my sister died of an illness. I realized the same thing could happen to me. There are no guarantees. I couldn’t waste another moment doing something I didn’t love.
Writing was one of my greatest joys when I was growing up. While still working at the bank, I decided to enroll in an intensive course where I learned everything I could about the craft. It didn’t take long before I left the bank to pursue a writing career.
Just after completing my first novel, I came across an article that Kensington Publishing was launching the first-ever Latino Romance line. My hero just happened to be Latino, so I submitted to them. Nothing had prepared me for what happened next — I sold three books! My mother is Puerto Rican, so the Latin culture comes natural to me. It’s fun writing stories with Latino characters because I can easily relate. Unfortunately, the Encanto line went into hiatus. But I still feature Latino characters in my books. After all, Latin lovers are hot. With all that passion, they’re perfect for steamy romances!
Speaking of which… In my next post, I'm going to tell you about Still Hot for You, my latest release from Lyrical Press. It's an emotional love story about what happens after the happily ever. And yes, the hero is super caliente!
