Dancing with Dragons: Fire, Faith, and the Middle Way for a New Earth

DIANA: Dancing with Dragons is a systems reconstruction book grounded in lived experience.

Through short stories drawn from family, faith, finance, healthcare, education, and governance, Diana traces how fear migrates — from the inner life to the family, and from the family into institutions.

What begins as silence becomes policy.
What begins as unexamined pain becomes ideology.
What begins as insecurity becomes domination.

Each system examined in this book was originally built for protection and human flourishing. Yet across sectors — healthcare, education, justice, governance, banking, media — avoidance of accountability has replaced repair.

This is not a manifesto.

It is an inquiry into structural integrity.

Dancing with Dragons asks:

• What happens when sensitivity is mislabeled as instability?

• How does tribal loyalty override truth?

• Why do leaders double down instead of apologize?

• What would moral maturity look like at scale?

• Can apology function as governance rather than weakness?

This book does not call for burning institutions down.

It calls for rebuilding them from the inside out.

It names the dragons — without worshiping them.

Mom in the Middle: The Barkside Chronicles

A galactic tug-of-war between chaos and calm, starring a strong-willed mom and her two furry forces of nature—Bark Vader and Princess Kittya.

Star Wars meets suburban realness—with a tail-wagging twist.

Written with humor and heart, this lighthearted chronicle explores discipline, love, frustration, and grace—for humans navigating the mess, the mischief, and the Middle Way.

Little F’ers Everywhere: A Haiku Reckoning

A sharp, humorous haiku collection about the small habits that cause big trouble—in ourselves, our relationships, and the world.

These poems aren’t about villains.
They’re about patterns.

Ego.
Avoidance.
Resentment.
Certainty.

Written with wit and restraint, Little F’ers Everywhere invites recognition without shame—and reminds us that awareness is often the first act of service.
