Kathy Vallory in Panama - Kathy Vallory Mysteries, #1

Biographie de Diane Maxwell

Diane Maxwell spent her first twenty-four years in Southern California. Another eighteen years passed in Minnesota raising her three children. Warmer weather called her to Texas where she settled north of Houston. Thoughts of retiring in Texas were trampled when the area became more and more crowded. She attended private school, and later put herself through college gaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from the University of New York.
She worked full time in hospital settings for thirty years. Specializing in Emergency care, she acquired every letter of the alphabet behind her name in certifications. She participated in the Mayo One helicopter ride along program, travel nursing, infection control, and hospital quality assurance. Travel always captured her imagination and she experienced countries all over the world. Besides visiting every State, except Alaska, she has journeyed to Japan, China, Tibet, Australia, Russia, Netherlands, France, England, Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico, Canada, and several small island nations.
Her move to Panama in 2012 seemed natural, plus it reminded her of Southern California in the 1950s. Diane Maxwell is a retired nurse living in Panama. This is her first book, although many of her poems have been published. She always wrote journals depicting her feelings along her adventures. This memoir started with those journals, transforming into an entire book.
