5 New Books From Authors That Write What They Know

ADVERTISEMENT

When I went into the casino industry people would always ask, “What’s a nice girl like you doing working in a place like this.” Now I can honestly say, “Research.” Because I write suspense novels about life from the other side of the blackjack table. I love to read fiction novels that are entertaining and exciting. I don’t have to get a PHD but just finish the book knowing a bit more than when I picked it up. That insider look lets the reader know that the author knew what she was talking about. I have compiled 5 new books from authors that write what they know and one of them is me. These novels are available at all your favorite book buying sites.

Corinne LaBalme is half-French but she’s never forgotten what it’s like for a North American to arrive in the City of Light for the first time.

Melody must find a way to pay for all the Chardonnay and quiche she’s devouring… and that’s before she figures out why a sexy but mysterious Spanish hunk wants her to continue the cancelled book project. Corinne’s experience as a travel journalist leads Melody on a luxurious tour de France to search for clues.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
