The Year the Music Changed

Diane Thomas is a Southern writer recently relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her debut novel, The Year the Music Changed: The Letters of Achsa McEachern-Isaacs and Elvis Presley, was published in 2005 by The Toby Press [www.tobypress.com]. The reviewer for The Atlanta Journal and Constitution ranked it with To Kill a Mockingbird, Library Journal gave it a starred review and termed it "highly recommended for all collections," and Booksense named it a "Notable Book" for September 2005. The Year the Music Changed has also been translated into Italian and Japanese.

Diane is currently working on her second book. In The Clearing is the tentative title for this novel-in-progress, which was nominated in an earlier draft for the Pushcart Press Editors Award: The year is 1967. Katherine, suffering from a mysterious and devastating illness, moves to an isolated cabin in a vast mountain forest in the hope she will not die. Danny has retreated to that same forest in the hope he will not kill. Again. Pray they never meet. And if they do -- pray they never fall in love.
