Reviews
Posted on Buffalorising.com by Nicole Hynes

Buffalo Stories is a well crafted collection of 10 short stories revolving around people in the Queen City. If you weren’t from Buffalo, you’d recognize the city from afar after reading this collection. Buffalo Stories is rich in descriptively textured narratives – recounting life lessons, some closer to home than others. Put abstractly, the essence of Buffalo Stories is comparable in nature to the beast that controls every idiosyncratic society, human nature. From problems associated with alcoholism and other vices, relationships to suicidal thoughts and introspection this book has it all. Diane is an intense, passionate storyteller. Her words caress the transcendent notion of love and addiction and the desire of them.

Diane doesn't pull punches in BUFFALO STORIES - people die, they break up, they have hard lives. Kinda like Buffalo.
