Diane lived in Southern California where she worked hard to earn her bachelor’s degree in accounting, and also managed to pass the CPA exams. After completing her studies, she met, married her husband and started a family. Unfortunately, the marriage ended in divorce while the children were still young.
She dedicated herself to raising her two children while also working full time as a financial and forensic auditor. As her children grew older and she had more free time, she also pursued a master’s degree in taxation by attending evening classes.
Just as Diane thought life would get easier with her eldest starting university, she faced yet another life changing transition that led her back to Greece, her birthplace. It was there she began writing her series of books.
The author found that her background, working as a research professional, had also made her a capable historical analyst, mystery solver, and effective code breaker. Like a historical and archeological detective, she dives in making connections and unearthing hidden ancient mysteries of the very ancient and mythical Peloponnese.
The author named the series—ARTEMIS CHILD—to represent the strength and endurance she discovered within herself during times of great trials and tribulations. During those same times, she also discovered that ‘bravery unlocks truths.’
A rewrite and enhanced first book of series: ‘Artemis Child: On The Peloponnese’ is scheduled to publish spring of 2025.
And the third book of the series: ‘Artemis Child: Trailing Hercules’ is scheduled to publish fall of 2025.
Diane is a proud member of the Palm Springs Writers Guild.

Did you ever wonder how “Pavlopetri” got its name?
But what about the patriarchal Paul who said women shouldn’t speak in church? There are two mentions of this, one in the 14th chapter of 1 Corinthians, one in 1 Timothy. The former is widely considered a later addition, an “interpolation” by editors. In this case, the assertion that women should be silent wildly interrupts the flow of the passage, which is whole without it. And the infamous remark is not present in several early manuscripts of...
