Diane Escalera

Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, I moved with my family to Puerto Rico when I was sixteen. A few short years later I relocated to Florida, a sultry paradise I instantly fell in love with. Unlike most authors, I didn’t know I was destined to write. In fact, I worked in banking for many years, but deep down knew that it wasn’t my dream job.

At the young age of thirty-five, my sister died of an illness. I realized the same thing could happen to me. There are no guarantees.

I couldn’t waste another precious moment doing something I didn’t love.

Writing was one of my greatest joys when I was growing up. While still working at the bank, I decided to enroll in an intensive course where I learned everything I could about the craft. It didn’t take long before I left the bank to pursue a full-time writing career.

Still living in Florida, I’m married and have two children. I feel truly blessed to be able to share my stories. I only wish I could have shared them with my sister.
