Diane Hatz

Diane Hatz is an award-winning author, organizer, and inner activist. Her debut novel, Rock Gods & Messy Monsters, earned numerous honors, including 1st runner-up 2024 Eric Hoffer Award and Grand Prize Shortlist Finalist as well as #1 Amazon Hot New Release in three categories. She has since written three additional books, completing the Mind Monsters series.

Through visionary fiction blending satire and social commentary, Diane explores power, consciousness, healing, and the unseen forces that shape human behavior. Though fictional, her stories are rooted in lived experience, observation, and a lifelong spiritual inquiry.

Diane received an Individualized Master of Arts with a focus in Creative Writing from Antioch University in London, England.

After thirty years in the East Village NYC, she moved to Santa Fe where she lives and writes. When not working on her next book, she can be found wandering the desert, road-tripping through the Southwest, or helping abandoned puppies find homes.
