About Diane Ioannou

Diane lived in Southern California. 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 she 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, where she settled in a small port town to heal. 

It was there Diane began writing her series of books. In each book, she includes her personal experiences—her adventures, life transition, and struggles of adjusting to a new environment. 

The author’s background of working as a research professional made her a capable historical analyst, ancient mystery solver, and even effective code breaker.  

Her love of adventure, persistence in research, and good sense of humor add excitement, interest, and entertainment to the journey. 

She named the series—Artemis Child—to represent the strength and endurance she discovered within herself during times of great trials and tribulations. 

The third book of the series: ‘Artemis Child: Trailing Hercules’ is scheduled to publish spring of 2026. 

Diane is a proud member of the Palm Springs Writers Guild.
