Bio

Now retired, Diana lives in a coastal town in the east of Scotland. Her interest in writing poetry was kindled by two creative writing courses (Open University). She is a regular member of Tyne & Esk Writers, eight groups spread over Mid and East Lothian. She enjoys the challenge of Fibonacci, writing in form and yet endeavouring to make it meaningful. One of her sonnets, was commended in the 2017 Vernal Equinox competition of the Federation of Scottish Writers and another poem was placed second in the Writer of the Year (2017, Tyne & Esk Writers). Her inspiration is often her garden or the sandy beaches and pinewoods of East Lothian.
