The Crone Network

Tell your story...

The Crone Network® was born from the inspiration of dozens of stories told by older women who survived to Cronehood. Some stories are tragic and some are joyous, but each are important as they helped us become the "grown ass women" we are.

In the ancient tradition of Storytelling, we offer  space to tell YOUR story. Click below  to get details on how you can submit your personal tale.

Diane Moore

Diane was born and raised in southern New Jersey USA and currently resides in Scotland, UK. She is a retired boss lady who enjoys writing and photography. She lives in a wee cottage with her handsome highlander Sam. 

She dreams of connecting women outside of social media to create a comfy, useful space for older women. 

Currently hosting Zippity Zoom virtual gatherings as a new feature in 2026, she has a quick wit, and kind heart, and despite the rumors, she "plays well with others".
