edit data

Since her childhood in New Zealand, Diana has loved writing stories. While she also enjoyed public school teaching, an autoimmune disorder led her to change careers and become a full time author. She placed first in the 2015 Paranormal Book Awards and the 2016 EPIC Awards.

Until 2017 Diana published mostly straight romance, but a health crisis, (and two years away from writing), caused reassessment of her goals. Consequently she began her first wlw novel, The Falcon’s Heart. As a bisexual woman, with LGBTQA family and friends, she wants to represent greater diversity in her work. Going forward, Diana intends her books to celebrate a beautiful variety of relationships and journeys.

Diana Green rated a book really liked it While My Heart Beats by Erin McKenzie	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
This novel did a good job depicting the horrors of war. Admittedly, it made some of the reading rather grueling, but I admire the author for doing her research and also presenting this subject with proper weight and depth. Such senseless, ongoing bru ...more

I'd give this a 4.5. It wasn't quite "amazing" as the Goodreads rating system describes a 5 star, but it was very VERY good. For me, this is one of the top three Penric and Desdemona novellas, showing a lot of depth both in the situation and the char ...more

Overall, this was a really good book. The writing was a pleasure to read, evocative, confident, and natural. I loved the vividness of the setting, and the two main characters were engaging, especially Aunt Charlotte, (artist, water witch, lesbian, an ...more

Years ago, I read the first Discworld book, The Color of Magic, and didn't like it much. Rinsewind just wasn't a great protagonist...for me. Also the plot seemed overly random and nonsensical. So I figured I'd pass on the other books in this series. ...more

Simon the Fiddler is an example of beautifully written historical fiction. While the first half of the book was a bit slow moving, the vivid authenticity of the setting and characters helped compensate for my impatience, waiting for the plot to progr ...more

Since I enjoy Greek mythology, I can't really give this book less than three stars. The writing is fine, and does a decent job depicting the various events and characters. The thing is, Stephen Fry doesn't really bring anything new or noteworthy to t ...more

I would rate this book a 4.5. I haven't encountered many full 5 star books yet this year, but The Empress of Salt and Fortune comes close. It took a little while getting into the narrative at the start, but once I immersed in the story, it held me ri ...more

While this book started out rough for me, (so much I almost gave up on it), I'm glad I persisted. The story definitely improved as it went along, and the characters gradually grew on me. There were still some really contrived elements, but the overal ...more
