The author 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. 

Diane 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. 

She named the series—Artemis Child—to represent the strength and endurance she discovered within herself during times of great trials and tribulations. In each book, she includes her personal experiences—her adventures, life transition, and struggles of adjusting to a new environment. 

Her background of working as a research professional, also made her a capable historical analyst, mystery solver, and effective code breaker. She dives in, like a historical and archeological detective, making connections and unearthing hidden ancient mysteries of the very ancient and mythical Peloponnese. And her love of adventure, persistence in research, and good sense of humor add excitement, interest, and entertainment to the journey. 

A rewrite and enhanced first book of series: ‘Artemis Child: Maria’s Journey’ 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.
