What are the odds of an author penning not one, but two, debut novels - and of BOTH being fabulous?!

Dr Diane Velasquez loves reading romance novels. So much so, they propelled her into academia where she’s been conducting research into what librarians think of romance novels and the people who borrow them. Diane is a firm believer that all reading, no matter the genre, is important and she’s become a crusader for ensuring snobbery doesn’t deter people from borrowing the books they love.
