| Welcome to the Web site of Diane Diekman, a South Dakota farm girl who became a U.S. Navy officer and is now a writer of biographies and a real estate investor. If you are a Faron Young fan – you will want to check out the links to read more about my book: Live Fast, Love Hard: The Faron Young Story. A profile of Faron, along with several of my articles about him and his band, can be found in the “Faron Young” section.
I’m proud to announce publication of Twentieth Century Drifter: The Life of Marty Robbins, a biography of another of my favorite singers. The Marty Robbins page contains my answers to questions about researching his life. From the time I was a first grader, and won the prize for reading more books than anyone else in our one-room country school, I’ve loved reading. Check “Books I Like” to see if some of my favorites are your favorites, too. As well as information on my two memoirs, Navy Greenshirt and A Farm in the Hidewood, this site contains a variety of articles about Navy life and some of the places I’ve visited around the world. I’ve included several speeches and eulogies, too. Send your questions and comments to diane@dianediekman.com. I’d love to hear from you. |
