	The Isle of Man Ghostly Cozy series tells the adventures of Fenella Woods, who is surprised and thrilled to learn that she's inherited a beautiful seaside apartment on the Isle of Man. Although she was born on the island, her family moved to the US when she was only two, and she's never even visited there before she sells everything she owns and takes up residence. Finding dead bodies wasn't in her plans, but then living with a ghost and a kitten weren't either.
	Following directly on from the Isle of Man Ghostly Cozy series, Margaret Woods is staying in her aunt's apartment on the Douglas Promenade while Fenella is on her honeymoon. That means Margaret is living with Mona - the ghost who originally owned the apartment. Margaret's boyfriend, Ted, is a police inspector who enjoys sharing the cases he encounters with Margaret. He has friends in police departments around the world and they often talk about cold cases with one another. And Mona loves doing everything she can to get involved in solving the murders.
	Abigail and Amanda (Mandy) Clark decide to give up life in the big city and buy a historic lodge in New York's picturesque Finger Lakes Region. Sunset Lodge has seen better days, but the sisters have big plans for the main lodge, its small annex, and the handful of cottages that are dotted around the property. Abigail has years of hotel management experience, so when Mandy ends up staying behind in New York City for a while, Abigail is confident she can run the business on her own. She has the help of a collection of local characters, some of whom have been working at the lodge for many years. Nothing in her experience has prepared her for what comes next, though.

	Welcome to Ramsey, New York - a small town full of characters. Some are looking for love, some most definitely are not. Sooner or later, everyone finds his or her happily ever after in the Later in Life romances. These stories follow older couples - some are divorced or widowed, some have never found anyone special. Many have children and are juggling family, careers, and their social lives. These are sweet, contemporary romance novels set in a small town in New York.
	As D.X. Dunn, Diana writes both young adult (ages 12 and up) and middle grade (ages 6 to 12) fiction. The Realities Trilogy follows the adventures of Catelyn Abbott as she stumbles into an alternate reality where everything is scarily similar to home. With her father trapped in the alternate reality, Catelyn isn't sure who she can trust as she struggles to find a way to rescue her father and then get them both back to their own reality. Diana's middle grade books, the Distania Chronicles, follow two ten-year-old best friends who accidentally discover another world full of magic, dragons, unicorns, and wizards.
	As Diana X. Dunn, Diana writes the F6 series of novels, mystery/thrillers set in the not-too-distant future. F6 was adopted by an international multi-governmental agency that doesn't officially exist. Throughout her childhood she was simply identified as F6, the sixth female baby adopted into the program. Now she changes identities as often as other women change their shoes, moving through the world completing top-secret missions and keeping her distance. She's just trying to do her job. Somewhere out there is one man who wants to stop her.

Diana started self-publishing in 2013 and more than a decade later she now has over a hundred books available for readers. Writing remains her passion and she has no plans to stop writing in the foreseeable future.

Diana grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania and earned a history degree from Allegheny College. She met her husband, an Englishman, while living and working in Washington, DC. Following their marriage, she moved to Derbyshire. A short while later, the happy couple moved to the Isle of Man.

During their years on the island, Diana and her husband welcomed two children and Diana completed a master's degree in the history of the island. In 2008, the family made the decision to move to the US. Now empty-nesters, Diana and her husband are living in the suburbs of Buffalo, New York and contemplating moving somewhere that doesn't get snow.
