Rocky Mountain Writer #77

Posted on March 26, 2017 by Mark Stevens


Diane Byington & Run Away Home

Diane Byington is the guest with a story about the long and winding road to finding a publisher for her first novel, Run Away Home.

After seven years of work and writing and re-writing, Run Away Home is due out later this year or early next from Red Adept Publishing.

On the podcast, Diane talks about the inspiration for her first novel and why she couldn’t let the idea go, even after dozens of rewrites.

Diane Byington has been a tenured college professor, yoga teacher, psychotherapist, and executive coach. Also, she raised goats for fiber and once took a job cooking hot dogs for a NASCAR event. She still enjoys spinning and weaving, but she hasn’t eaten a hot dog or watched a car race since.

Diane and her husband divide their time between Boulder, Colorado, and the small Central Florida town they discovered while doing research for the book.
