Olivia Diamond

Born in Chicago, Olivia Diamond writes novels, short stories and poetry. She lived in Rockford, Illinois, until 1998 when she moved to a mountain retreat in northwest Montana twenty-five miles from the nearest town. She holds a B.A.in English from Northern Illinois University and a M.A from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Her husband Rod Rogers writes science-fiction novels. When not writing, they enjoy nature and fishing. They share their log home with a ragdoll cat, who critiques their writing even when she isn't asked her opinion. Olivia has been writing fiction since age 18 (and is not related to the children's book pig of the same name). Her main interests are historical novels, fiction with psychological depth, and narrative poetry. Despite the Montana transplant, she probably still is hopelessly Midwestern (at least natives say her accent is), because she avoids extremes, is eclectic in her tastes, and respects tradition. Thus, putting herself smack dab back in the Middle. Visit author website at Mountainofdreamsbooks.com
