Dianna Dorisi Winget

When she's not busy crafting her next middle grade novel, Dianna Winget is quite likely to be stuffed in her recliner between her two dogs reading. Or she might be walking in the field surrounding her North Idaho home, spending time with her husband and daughter, tending her small garden, or taking a soak in her hot tub. Once in a while she does house work. She loves receiving and personally answering fan mail, doing Skype visits with young readers and researching her next project.

Dianna is the author of "A Smidgen of Sky," a 2012 ABC Indie-Bound New Voices Pick, "A Sliver of Sun," the funny and heartwarming sequel, and "A Million Ways Home," a featured selection in the Scholastic Mother-Daughter book club, and the Scholastic Book Fair.
