She has the words down pat.
But how does she demonstrate true remorse when she's never seen anyone do it?
When today's session ends, will Winnie walk back to her cell? Or through the sally port to freedom?

Diana made her debut as a novelist in 1998 with a series of international thrillers featuring State Department counterterrorist analyst Kathryn "Casey" Collins: 12 Drummers Drumming, Night on Fire, and East Past Warsaw. The three novels are also available in a single ebook, The Casey Collins Trilogy. Diana's short story, "Warm Bodies in a Cold War", originally published in 1996 under a different title, introduced Casey to the readership of the Foreign Service Journal. The prequel No Place for an Honest Woman expanded on Casey's early career. The story and all four thrillers are now available as individual ebooks.

Her mystery collection, Run & Gun: A Dozen Tales of Girls with Guns includes eleven Dawna Shepherd stories first published by Alfred Hitchcock, plus all-new "Latin Groove". Both the collection and "In Plain Sight," her 2013 mystery, are available in e-editions. Dawna's latest adventure, "Blown," appeared in the Kobo Special Edition of Pulse Pounders, the Januaury 2015 issue of Fiction River anthology.
