About Diana

Diana R. Chambers has worn many hats as a writer, but feels herself a novelist at heart. As a child she was a bookworm, wandering the musty aisles of libraries, drawn by the promise of discovery, distant lives and distant lands. The fictional worlds of her novels have been inspired by her journeys and the people she’s met along the way. Her work has been praised for its riveting plots, unusual characters and deep sense of place.

Diana has lived in Paris and Toronto and traveled widely, including many far corners of Asia, as well as Russia, Georgia and Turkey, settings for Lovely White Lies. Travel has led her into unexpected new worlds. A jewelry business in India evolved into work as a designer and costumer in Hollywood, where she began writing for television, film, theater and new media. But fiction soon beckoned.

Lovely White Lies is a sweeping saga of love and intrigue in which the unlikely union of two families—American and Russian—triggers powerful forces, setting off an explosive reaction that threatens to change the course of history. New York Times bestselling author, Louise Penny, calls it, “Fabulous. A remarkable and important achievement. Chambers brilliantly evokes (Russia) in all its foreboding complexity. She perfectly captures the place, the emotions, the great hearts of the people. I confess, I zoomed ahead at the end. Those final scenes were so tense and I cared about the characters so much, I had to see what happened. Then I went back and enjoyed the wonderful writing.”

Diana has also written Stinger, about a “rogue” CIA officer, a daring journalist and an elusive Afghan chief who become entangled in an unusual triangle. In the sequel, The Company She Keeps, the officer enlists a young woman into the world of espionage and high-tech treachery, following a twisting trail that ends in Iran.

A member of Writers Guild of America, PEN, Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime and Women’s National Book Association, Diana lives in Northern California with her husband who taught her that writing is rewriting, her daughter who taught her the joys of being a mom and a beautiful mutt who reminds her to savor the moment.
