Wayne Diehl

Wayne Diehl was born in Philadelphia. He moved with his family to Southern California when he was nine years old. After a stint in the army, he graduated from Cal State University, Northridge with a degree in English. Following a series of varied and numerous jobs he found a career in the transportation business, retiring from FedEx in 2005 after almost 25 years in the industry. He took a year off, knowing he would eventually have to go back to work, but wanting to take the time to finally attempt to write seriously. The result was his first novel, The Boy With No Name.

Wayne is the author of five books, four YA novels, and a historical novel, Loyal Son. He is fully retired now and lives and writes in a small mountain community in the Los Padres National Forest north of Los Angeles. Besides writing, Wayne enjoys hiking, chess, playing the djembe, and interesting and lively discussions with his book club and local writers group. Most importantly, he loves spending time with his family, especially his five grandchildren.
