Diana Jackson’s passion for social history is the bed-rock to all of her writing historical fiction, mystery and memoir. It was delving into her family history which inspired Diana’s first novel ’Riduna’ set on the island of Alderney, UK, and there is an element of realism in all of her work. She was influenced by the classics from Bronte to Thomas Hardy and as an avid reader too, she just feels compelled to write. A retired teacher from Bedfordshire now living in Fife, Diana spends her time writing but she is also fully involved in community life, volunteering for KinghornLibraryRenewed and KinghorninBloom, which reflect her love of books and the natural world.
