If you were ever a victim of Beatlemania this book is for you! In the tradition of teenagers around the world, as a teenager the author had fantasized about meeting the Beatles. A strange thing happened to those teenage stories, though. They grew up and became a realistic story of one girl who did meet the Beatles. Tess Martin is an ordinary girl who is thrown into an extrordinary situation and tells her story so believably you quickly forget she and her experiences are fictional. Grounded in the reality of the 60's, the difficulties of fame, the discovery, uncertainty, and awakening sexuality of first love, her story incorporates Beatles history that makes it something that could have happened, characterizations of them that fans can believe, and a story line that will enchant, amuse, startle, and keep you up half the night needing to read just one more chapter.

"Into My Life"
I am not a fan of romance novels. And I'm also not a Beatles fan fiction enthusiast. This story was recommended to me by a friend. She told me any fan of Paul McCartney who also loves John Lennon would enjoy it, so I started to read it on line. I couldn't fully enjoy reading it on my pc, so I bought the book. From the first page, I was hooked. I found it to be so well written, exciting and well characterized, that I just could not put it down. Someone wanted to know if Diane has a connection to John's spirit? Well not only that, but I find it uncanny that she seems to know Paul so well also. Her characterization of him is so subtle and spot on, I had to keep reminding myself... More >

"Hooked"
I was introduced to the world of fan fiction in high school several years ago. I was raised on The Beatles and so I started looking online to see if Beatles fan fiction existed, which of course it did. Initially I was reading pretty poor quality Beatles fan fics that really had nothing to offer. Then one day I saw a post on a Beatles message board saying that this story called "Into My Life" was a must read for any Beatles fan. I found the site where the story was and began reading. After reading just a few paragraphs I knew the story was something special. I experienced what everyone else does when they discover this story; becoming completely hooked. I stayed up late at night... More >

I'm on my third re-read of Into My Life, which has been made easy by having a hard copy of it. Diane captures the Beatles, particularly John and Paul so well and she makes them believable. And her original characters are also really likeable and well-developed. I hope she knows how much happiness and enjoyment her writing has brought. She's even inspired my friends and I to write our own Beatle fanfic. Thanks for showing that Beatles fanfic can be well-thought out and well-written.
