Marsha Diane Arnold: Hello. My name is Marsha Diane Arnold. The name Marsha actually means warlike, but I'm not warlike at all. I don't like conflict. Conflict is the hardest part for me to write about in my books. My middle name, Diane, means divine, heavenly. I like that meaning much more. Arnold, which is my husband's name, means faithful to his honor, which I like very much indeed. So, Marsha Diane Arnold is my name. It's easy to pronounce. My name before I was married was Krehbiel, a Swiss-German surname quite common in Kansas where I grew up. K-R-E-H-B-I-E-L. Krehbiel. A bit trickier than Arnold. I've grown rather happy with Marsha Diane Arnold. I think I'll keep it.
