The Elusive Series
Where Dreams Collide is the first book in the Elusive series, a gripping blend of mystery, fate, and the blurred lines between reality and the unknown.
Gabby never expected her dreams to mean anything, but when they become vivid, immersive, and impossible to shake, she can no longer ignore them. Night after night, she steps into the life of Amara – a woman fighting to survive in the wake of The Fall, a catastrophic event that reshaped the world and left behind beings unlike anything Gabby has ever imagined.
When I wrote Where Dreams Collide, I loved how it turned out – the depth, the character, the world. But even as I reached the final chapter, I knew there was more. the story had another layer waiting to be explored.
That’s how Where Dreams Ignite was born. The foundation remains the same, but this time, I pushed the boundaries – more passion, mre intensity, more fire. I wantd the emotions to cut deeper and the connections to feel stronger.
The Fall changed everything. The sky burned. The ash fell. And the world as they knew it began to unravel.
Gabby is no longer just dreaming of her future—she’s living inside it. Transformed by the ash and carrying a secret that was never supposed to be real, she’s forced to navigate a world where nothing is safe and no one is who they seem. The triplets she once saw only in visions are growing inside her, and they’re not ordinary children—they’re something more. Something the world isn’t ready for.

The Author
Hey friend! Grab a cup of coffee (or tea, if that’s your vibe), and let’s chat! I’m Diona, a fantasy and sci-fi writer who’s been spinning stories since I could hold a crayon—probably before I even knew what a plot was! My mom made sure I was never without a book in my hands—seriously, I think she had a sixth sense for when my book stack was getting low. She subscribed to every book service under the sun just to keep my shelves overflowing!
My grandmother, Diane? She was pure magic. She didn’t just give me books—she handed me keys to new worlds. Late-night storytelling, epic movie marathons, and that knowing twinkle in her eye when she passed me a book—she made sure my life was filled with adventure. Thanks to her, I fell in love with fantasy and sci-fi and never looked back. Now, I get to take all that wonder and pour it into my own books—stories packed with mystery, transformation, and those ‘did that really just happen?!’ moments I live for.
Oh, and when I’m not writing, I’m behind a camera! I’ve been a photographer for 20 years, running Thistle+Oak, my photography business in Florida. I don’t just capture life’s messy, beautiful moments—I find ways to weave a little fantasy into them too.
When I’m not lost in stories or photos, I’m at home with my husband and our son, G, whom I homeschool (which is equal parts chaos and magic, let’s be real). And then there’s Ranger, my tiny, dramatic Chihuahua who’s convinced he’s king of the house (he’s… not entirely wrong). He’s either curled up next to me or giving me side-eye because I dared to move.
If I’m not creating, I’m probably in the kitchen baking something (yes, my sourdough starter is named Sally Jesse Raphael—she’s a diva), out foraging for herbs like I’m living in a fantasy novel, or knee-deep in my garden. When I need a break, you’ll find me painting, embroidering, or chatting with my quirky little farm crew of rabbits and chickens—because yes, I absolutely talk to them, and honestly, they’ve got some strong opinions!
My debut novel, Where Dreams Collide, kicks off The Elusive Series—a mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and psychological intrigue with plenty of ‘whoa, did that just happen?!’ moments. It’s full of mystery, transformation, and a touch of the surreal, making you question what’s real and what’s a dream.
If you like a little more spice, Where Dreams Ignite is a hotter version of Where Dreams Collide, with a rewritten first half and some extra-detailed scenes. And for a fully immersive experience, The Where Dreams Collide Coloring Book brings key scenes to life with intricate artwork!
So, what’s next? Funny you should ask! Right now, I’m diving headfirst into When Fate Unfolds, the YA version of the next book in the Elusive Series—expect heart-pounding adventure, emotional twists, and just the right amount of magic. It’s shaping up to be an epic ride, and I can’t wait for you to experience it with me—it’s going to be amazing!
