Lane Diamond

Lane Diamond is my pseudonym. My real name is Dave Lane, and I'm a writer, editor and publisher currently living in Wisconsin. I freelanced from 2006-2010, but I now focus all my energy on our Evolved Publishing venture, which I co-founded with my business partner, D.T. Conklin, and where I also serve as Executive Editor.

My writings cross over many genres and focus on diverse subjects, ranging from the mysteries of the human mind, with its fragile psychological and emotional states, to the everyday joy and anguish of life on Earth. I love a good story, of course, a compelling plot and a satisfying conclusion. Yet as a reader, I've always been drawn to great characters. The characters bring me back to an author time and time again. This shows in my writing, where I attempt to create authentic, complex, real characters you can come to love, and in whose company you feel at home. Or maybe you'll despise a character and want to stick a fork in his eye. Hey, bad guys are fun too.

As part of our Evolved Publishing launch, I started releasing my short stories (select the "Short Stories" tab at top of page to see them) in August 2011. I have a fair library of stories available, so I'll probably release one every couple months or so--we'll have to see what the schedule allows. My debut novel, Forgive Me, Alex (first 5 chapters available for preview on my website) will be available in December 20, 2011. The sequel, The Devil's Bane, will be out in 2012.

I've also written many poems, and even played around with song lyrics. Not sure what I'll do with those.
