| A Rich Romance | There's a lot to be said for being in love...now it's my turn to talk about this most luxurious adventure. |
| A Travel Adventure | Follow the adventures of two daring guys (one local & one foreigner) who drove a 1984 Bronco from Nanaimo, BC Canada to San Jose, Costa Rica, Central America in Nov 1995. Over 4,000 miles in two weeks of trekking through beautiful, yet sometimes dangerous country. Read about how some famous jars of canned salmon helped speed up the red tape. Picture how war can maim a country , and how beautiful the country can be again after war. Consider this a travel guide...and then wonder if you would like to make a trip like that...me, I'm still thinking about it. |

Charges
|
"For someone looking for spiritual enlightenment, through imaginative writing,
cool, clear verse, and a thoughtful style, Charges, Diane Babcock's first
published book of poetry, is just the volume to choose." ...excerpt from
jacket.
The words 'charge' you to take responsibility for your own life and happiness through insight which inspires a positive perspective. Creativity is inspiration that you allow within your own self. This is predominantly portrayed throughout the book as 'direction without judgment '. Many people find these words "enlightening", "powerful", "inspiring", "gems", "soothing", to quote a few. This book is used by teachers around the province as a literary example. |
| HMCS Cape Breton | An illustrated story and walk through from bow to stern during her preparation for a new life under the water. Oct 21/01 she became the world's largest man-prepared artificial reef in Nanaimo, BC, Canada. |
| New Paper | New Paper signifies new beginnings in my life. Not that every day isn't a new day, but it's obvious to me that a new chapter has begun and for that I needed new paper. |

I started the inspirational writing style in 1991. The first 23 of the total 54 poems have been published by Carlton Press Inc, New York into my first book, CHARGES, released Summer/94. The rest are included as an insert and will not be published in hard cover on their own. In order to reflect the diversity of the passions in this book, one would have to quote such passages as:
The bottom line message in these poems is finding the "gentle strength within" that enables us to control our own lives without interference by demands, intimidation or manipulation from others while allowing ourselves to grow graciously. In 1993 my writing style developed into an eclectic composition of my life events and for other people and is surrounded by a cornucopia of emotion and imagination. To date, my work has been recognized by the National Library of Poetry in Maryland, USA and published in many of their anthologies. All of these anthologies are placed in the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS as well as being sold through book stores. They are "a literary resource for public and academic libraries, recording companies, worldwide news media...sourcebook of poetic talent to be used by editors and publishers...and guide to aspiring poets and songwriters." It's more apparent as I talk with people how much talent is out there and sometimes I am the only one whom they have allowed with their poetic secrets. It's quite an honor to read their work and I enjoy their fervor as they also love it so. |
