Biography
![]() |
Diana Rowland has lived her entire life below the Mason-Dixon line, uses "y'all" for second-person-plural, and otherwise has no southern accent (in her opinion.) She attended college at Georgia Tech where she earned a BS in Applied Mathematics, and after graduation forgot everything about higher math as quickly as possible. She has worked as a bartender, a blackjack dealer, a pit boss, a street cop, a detective, a computer forensics specialist, a crime scene investigator, and a morgue assistant, which means that she’s seen more than her share of what humans can do to each other and to themselves. She won the marksmanship award in her Police Academy class, has a black belt in Hapkido, has handled numerous dead bodies in various states of decomposition, and can’t rollerblade to save her life. She’s been writing since she learned to read, but didn’t realize that it was what she wanted to do when she grew up until her mid-thirties when she decided to channel her life-experiences into novels. A self-confessed nerd who grew up devouring as much reading material as she could get her hands on, Diana is currently enjoying melding her love of speculative fiction with her personal knowledge of law enforcement procedures. She presently lives in south Louisiana with her husband and her daughter where she is deeply grateful for the existence of air conditioning. |
