Diana Jackson now lives in Fife where she and her husband have become deeply committed to community life in Kinghorn. Diana enjoys volunteering with the ‘Kinghorn in Bloom’ crowd and also helping her husband at various Rotary events through the year. Her book ‘The Healing Paths of Fife’ tells her story of relocating to Fife in the form of an allegory ~ a walk along the beautiful coastal path and raises much needed funds for Kirkcaldy Foodbank.
Diana released the second novel in her ‘Mystery Inspired by History Series’, ‘MISSING, Past and Present‘ just before the lock down overtook life in the UK, back in March 2020 and she is currently writing the next in this series.
Search for the Pearl Inside Yourself is also close to Diana’s heart and is a little book of inspiration and motivation for Young Adults, drawing on her many years experience teaching. She has already given away many of these little paperbacks and has also released a kindle version too.
Until autumn 2013 Diana and her husband lived in the heart of Bedfordshire, UK, where Diana was a teacher of English and Business Studies. Having been made redundant, (probably due to being too old at 55 years!) Diana decided to launch a writers’ collective publishing company and through this she is still in touch with many authors back in Bedfordshire. She took eighteen months off to settle into her new life in Scotland, but now she has taken up the mantle once more, both in writing and publishing.
Diana’s initial inspiration to write her first novel ‘Riduna’ was her great grandmother, an Alderney girl, leading to the conception of the ‘Riduna Series’. Having said this she stresses that her novels are purely fiction. She takes the reader from the mid Victorian era through to 1920 and plans a third in the series to the mid thirties. It had a wonderful review from The Historical Society.
Her other projects include compiling a memoir and writing a murder mystery, ‘Murder, Now and Then’ which was inspired by a true story ~ an unsolved murder in Bedfordshire in 1919. The first novel in Diana’s ‘Mystery Inspired by History’ series. It has gained a five star review on Reader’s Favourite and at least 50 reviews on Amazon.
