Dianne and Vincent began as co-writers on their first book "Our Long Road To Happiness". They have written some short stories together, "The Ghosts Of Roderick Lake", "Searching For The Spirits Of My Ancestors". Dianne Campbell/Barnes was born in Timmins, Ontario. The family moved to Midland in the early 1950's. Dianne uses her secretarial background and good command of the English Language to nit-pick through the practical, but uses her experiences and emotions to write from the heart.

Vincent Barnes was a columnist for a union newspaper, The Voice of the Worker where he wrote the "Doings From Davenport" column for ten years. Topics he covered included grievances, safety, health problems, why workers should join a union. Because of his nose for news, his column was the most read in the newspaper. Then, Barnes put his writing and research interests on the back burner until 1994 when he bought a computer. Since then he has written a proliferation of slice-of-life short stories, poetry and books. His short story, Frozen Roots, was published in the Wordscape 4 Anthology and his poem, The Beauty of Writing, was published in Wordscape 2.
