Autorenporträt

Diana was born with a book in one hand and a passport in the other. She was soon wandering Paris cobblestones and later, the bazaars and backstreets of South Asia. An importing business led to Hollywood scriptwriting, until her characters began demanding their own novels. Her first, STINGER, begins near the Khyber Pass as CIA officer Daley becomes entangled in a sizzling triangle that unfolds deep inside Afghanistan. In THE COMPANY SHE KEEPS, he enlists a new agent into the world of espionage, high-tech treachery, and sexual intrigue, following a twisting trail that ends in Iran. Her latest novel, THE STAR OF INDIA, was published by Penguin Random House India in 2020.

Her work has been praised for its riveting plots, unusual characters and deep sense of place. A member of Writers Guild of America, Mystery Writers of America and past president of Sisters in Crime NorCal, Diana lives in a small Northern California town with her fellow-traveler husband, arty daughter, brilliant mutt, and feral cat, Marco Polo. Her nose is always in a book.
