Diana Laurence has been writing for four decades. She published her first fiction at age thirteen in 'Teen magazine, and since then her work as appeared in such diverse publications as The Lutheran Witness, Beckett Hockey Monthly, and Suite. In 1998 she published her first full-length work, a self-help book entitled Living Beyond Reality: A Jungian Primer for Enhancing Your Life, and a contemporary romance novel called The Resurrection of Captain Eternity.

After four years of dedicating herself to the publication of a weekly ezine of hockey humor, "Hockey Snacks," Diana went back to writing fiction. Since 2004, she has made a name for herself writing her brand of tasteful erotic romance, dubbed "erotica with soul." Her first collection, Soulful Sex: Erotic Tales of Fantasy and Romance, was an Eppie Finalist and Amazon bestseller. Subsequent collections, and her novel Souls' Embrace, have been recognized by many awards and critical acclaim.

In 2006, with the closing of her publisher, Diana chose to republish her back list under her own small publishing house, Living Beyond Reality Press, and penned the guidebook Do-It-YourSelf-Publishing. Since then LBR Press has continued to release Diana's works, and also sponsors the LBR Press READ FREE Project, which offers sample Diana Laurence stories for free download.

With the release of Bloodchained, Diana directed her attention to one of her favorite archetypes: vampires. She continues to explore this theme in the sequel comic book Sign of the Bloodletters and the sequel novel, Bloodchained II, as well as her self-help/humor book from Sellers Publishing, How to Catch and Keep a Vampire: A Step-by-Step Guide to Loving the Bad and the Beautiful.

Diana was born and raised in the area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she now resides with her husband David and nearby grown daughters, Katie and Amanda.
