About

Diane McGyver’s professional writing career began in 1997. She made a living writing nonfiction, but her true passion lived in the fantasy world. Dusting off an old manuscript she had first completed in her late teens, she began uncovering the real story amongst the handwritten pages.

After six long years of major revisions, edits and beta readers, her first novel Shadows in the Stone was published by Quarter Castle Publishing. This was the first book in the Castle Keepers series.

Diane currently lives in a hamlet on the beautiful Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. She’s already made plans to retire–at an early age–to write by the sea where she spent her childhood. There, she will live in a peel tower or a stone cottage where she’ll raise chickens, vegetables and Trouble.

Spelling

Diane prefers the old English she was raised on. So you’ll read amongst instead of among, sceptical instead of skeptical and smelt instead of smelled.
