Diane Wade spent most of her career as a creative director/ writer of consumer advertising at ad agencies large and small, including her own. Along the way she taught advertising copywriting for almost a decade as an adjunct at two colleges. A passionate animal lover, she is a long-time board member of the Humane Society of Westchester. Changing Lanes in Bad Traffic is her second novel. While unrelated to her first novel, Molly Learns to Float, both stories share a positive message of optimism, the resilience of the human spirit, and the ability of people to change and grow throughout life.
