She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
A retired teacher in Fife, Diana volunteers for KinghornLibraryRenewed and KinghorninBloom, reflecting her love of books and the natural world.
Background
Information
Diana Jackson's passion for social history is the bed-rock to all of her writing ~ historical fiction, mystery and memoir. It was delving into her family history which inspired Diana's first novel 'Riduna' set on the island of Alderney, UK, and there is an element of realism in all of her work. She was influenced by the classics from Bronte to Thomas and as an avid reader too she just feels compelled to write.
Birth Place
Croydon, UK
Accomplishments
Diana achieved a fantastic review from the Historical Society for ‘Riduna':
'Riduna speaks volumes about the power of love and loss and is beautifully written with a fluidity that speaks to your soul'
and a five star review on the book website Reader's Favorite for her murder mystery.
'Murder Now and Then: 1919 to 2019 is an ingenious story. It has a very well developed plot and is something very different, very clever.'
