No. This is not Diana Rivers.
You'll have to look harder...Some might say she's inquisitive - and some will say she's just downright nosy! I'm told she's feisty, tenacious and sexy. (The Assassins' Village) She's neither Miss Marple nor Jessica Fletcher. She's her own woman. Bright, forty-ish and with a mind of her own. Since her childhood she's often found herself in tricky situations, sometimes real danger, but somehow she's always come out squeaky clean - so far...
Diana lives in a 200-year old stone-house in Cyprus and writes books; historical fiction, thrillers, action and romance among other things. She doesn't go looking for trouble but somehow it always finds her. Diana's case in Cyprus took place in her own village, Aghios Mamas, and the community was shaken to the core. Two murders?! (The Assassins' Village)
Diana's interest with all things mysterious, involving human and sometimes not so human things started when she was a girl, at a boarding school in Singapore, (The Bamboo Mirror). She enjoys a good mystery and often finds herself siding with the underdog - she sums up most situations with the word retribution. Diana likes to fight alongside the underdog, that person in the mystery or adventure who is having a hard time - often through no fault of their own. She understands everyone is human and has faults and quirks that are different from the next person. Diana too is human and makes her own mistakes.
Traces of Diana can be found in different periods of her life, when she trod the boards, at school or just a bare mention, when she immediately grasps the answer to a query one of her friends, Geraldine is pondering upon. An anthology of short stories, The Bamboo Mirror.
