author:  Diane Rapp 
description: Diane Rapp became an entrepreneur when she started her own dog grooming salon in Santa Barbara, California. She spent the next thirty years as a small business owner; she sold real estate, started an office supply/copy center, and performed free-lance advertising design. During all those years Diane wrote stories as a cure for insomnia. After writing a tour guide book to the Caribbean together, her daughter gave her the idea of writing a mystery set on cruise ships in the Caribbean. Murder Caribbean-Style and Murder on a Ghost Ship are the first two novels of a High Seas Mystery series. Murder for Glacier Blue was released in August of 2013. It takes the reader on a cruise to Alaska with an art heist, murder, and a wedding planned for Glacier Bay. There is lots of action in all three novels. The Alphas is the prequel to the Heirs to the Throne Trilogy, book 1 Howl of the Wolf. It introduces the dogs and wolves that eventually formed the pack that headed into space. The story is also a mystery, in which the heroine solves the murder of an old friend and discovers why her beloved German Shepherd was stolen. Howl of the Wolf is the first book in Dianes science fiction trilogy, Heirs to the Throne. It introduces the planet Drako, telepathic wolves, and the crew of the space ship that took sanctuary on a planet that banned technology. In the second book, The Havenshire Resistance, Queen Krystals teenage daughters learn to use inherited powers. They join an army of Samurai women, telepathic wolves, and commoners to save the kingdom from an evil usurper. The third book of the trilogy is Dragon Defense. The planet is under threat by an Institute battleship. King Donovan must train teenagers to operate forbidden defense technology while his daughters make friends with a flock of wild dragons.

  _Blood ran down her arm. Roaring her pain, Kerian leaped toward her captor,
  her knife suddenly alive and glinting bright sparks. She lifted, she plunged,
  and she saw shock turn Barg’s eyes glassy._
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
  _The steel slid softly into muscle, slipped between ribs. The blade scraped
  bone. Barg’s eyes went wide, and he dropped away. The tavern swelled with
  voices as Knights swore and cried murder._
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
  _Kerian shot for the door, hot blood on her hands._
