With You Always (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517288211)

Diana grew up in Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After she married and left Steel City, she and her family lived for a time in Washington D.C., West Virginia and Ohio. When her two children were old enough to attend grammar school, Diana went to college. At Ohio State University, she earned her BA in History of the Near East, graduating Summa Cum Laude, and her MA in American History. After teaching Social Studies at East High School in Columbus, Ohio for five years, Diana moved to Madrid, Spain to teach at the American School of Madrid. A one-year contract turned into a twenty-two-year stay and a new career teaching on the college level. She began to teach history, political science, and English writing for American universities in Madrid, including the University of Wisconsin, University of Maryland, and St. Louis University. Happily, her teaching schedule allowed for extensive travel in Europe, with forays into Egypt and North Africa. While Diana lived in Spain, her first book was published. It was a college textbook for international students entitled Strategies for Success (in an American University) and was sold in colleges and universities in Spain and the U.S. She also frequently wrote feature articles for a bi-lingual international Christian magazine called The Christian Communique. When Diana returned to the U.S. from Spain in 2002, she changed career direction. She was seeking a way to combine her faith, her joy in writing, and her interests in music, history and current events. She soon discovered writing Christian romance novels was her new calling. As one might expect, her love of Spain and interest in music in and social issues are recurring themes in her novels. In the years since 2002, Diana has written five romance novels, with a sixth to be published in 2015. Her stories range from the American Civil War to contemporary times. Locales include Spain and various sites in the U.S. Diana met her British husband, Denis, in Madrid over thirty years ago. A true Christian romance! They live neat Baltimore, Maryland, and both of them are full-time writers.
