Dianne writes across genres. Her fantasy quest novel The Shark Caller was sparked by the ancient practice of calling sharks and was written during PhD research into anthropomorphism and animal characters in children's literature. Her second PhD title, The Dog with Seven Names, won the 2019 Speech Pathology Award, was shortlisted for the Patricia Wrightson Prize for Children's Literature and was a CBCA Notable Book. She is an active member of the Australian writing community, having served six years as WA Advisor for SCBWI, and was winner of the Nance Donkin Award for Children's Literature.
