Cruze, MS Diana Amann

Diana lives in Knoxville, TN, near the Great Smoky Mountains, often a childhood playground. Family activities that shaped her adventurous spirit include climbing through caves or searching for arrowheads. After a 5 year adventure in Morocco as an adult, she found office employment to be stifling and sought a job in route sales. Thirty-two years enjoying customers in southern Appalachia afforded her material for a book. She retired from sales in 2009 and spends time writing, hiking, and practicing Tai Chi.
