Dianne Bateman

Dianne Bateman wrote her first book at 16 but was too shy to share with others. With the birth of her child and grandchild, she devoted much time to reading and passed along that love for children's adventure stories. After retiring from a successful business career, Dianne began to share her adventures of Rowdy and Princess - her beloved cats which created a large following. Her fans encouraged her to write a children's book and the idea for Jane the Astronaut was born!
