Diana Colleen

Diana Colleen grew up in Kamloops, Canada, but at the age of 25 she experienced a sexual assault that changed the course of her life. Everything she had been working toward suddenly felt impossible, so she packed her life and her cats into her car and drove across the border to Seattle to begin again. By 2018, writing was far from her mind. She wasn’t thinking about much of anything. Suicidal and searching for meaning, she eventually found an underground psychedelic-assisted therapist who transformed her life. That experience didn’t just save her, it reshaped her entire understanding of healing and consciousness. Today, she is a trained psychedelic facilitator dedicated to exploring how expanded states of consciousness can help heal both personal and collective wounds.

The idea of writing a novel wasn’t something she pursued; it found her. Every piece of They Could Be Saviors came through meditation, a quiet whisper from the universe that refused to be ignored. The story was a surprise, but not an accident. Through speculative fiction, she examines the raw questions of our time: climate change, inequality, and the soul sickness created by unfettered wealth.

She believes billionaires are dragons, hoarding wealth while the world burns, and that no one should be allowed to amass such power at the expense of others. She believes in science, social democracy, and universal human rights. Most of all, she believes that if the right minds open in the right way, humanity could change its course and maybe even save itself.

Her writing is her way of trying.
