Diane Lee Horwood was born and raised in Long Beach, California, and is now residing in Tucson, Arizona; owning, riding, and loving horses for the past 20 years.
The Wicked Witch of the West are multi-stories of fiction and nonfiction. The two Morgan horses are real and the statue of "The Wicked Witch" is real. Tucson and the historical sites are authentic. The two horses are shared by the author and her friends, and all the antics on and of the horses plus the "how-to" take care of them are factual; however, in the stories the two riders are two boys. The rest is strictly the wild imagination of the author building up plots, mystery, adventure, and magical surroundings that creates a vivid image for all readers to enjoy.
The author received "The Silver Angel Award" for her first story on the Internet from "The Excellence In Media" at the 23 International Angel Awards, February 24, 2000, in Hollywood, California. She received this award for being a first time author, published by a publisher and contributing to the community a childrens/adult story for all to read.
"You will never have a greater fan than I! Your story "The Wicked Witch of the West" is a gem of a piece. This story has every possible ingredient for fast, absorbing reading and should make a terrific hit as a movie. I am very thrilled to endorse this story encouraging children of all ages, as well as adults to read a novel truly designed to the author's and reader's imagination.
Your characterizations are excellent and all the action episodes are graphically portrayed.
Congratulations on your writing skills and plot developments. You are truly an outstanding writer in my opinion."
Gordon Gordon (based on the novel "Undercover Cat" by The Gordons and the Screenplay by The Gordons and Bill Walsh, Walt Disney Pictures presents "That Darn Cat.")
"Only rarely during my 40 years as a novelist for Doubleday and a screenwriter have I come across a story that has excited me as much as "The Wicked Witch of the West".
Here is a highly imaginative story told bravely with such verve that it held me all the way through; a story told straight forwardly even while it dared to explore the outer edges of reason. It's a tantalizing tale that will appeal to adults as much, or more so, as to children.
I seldom make predictions but this time I will. I foresee that the author, Diane Lee Horwood, will go far as she draws on her imagination and writes in simple, highly intelligent English more tales that stir and delight all of us.
I am endorsing "The Wicked Witch of the West" and all of the multi-stories that follow, encouraging children and adults who enjoy reading, flowing with the imagination the author inspires."
