Diane T. Ashley is a “town girl” born and raised in central Mississippi. She has been employed for more than 20 years by the Mississippi House of Representatives, where she currently serves as Deputy Assistant Clerk. When Diane took over the care of her mother, after the sudden death of her father, she rediscovered a thirst for writing and was led to a class taught by best-selling author, Aaron McCarver. She and Aaron now collaborate on historical romance novels set during some of the turning points in American history. Their Tennessee series covers three generations of families who struggle to find or strengthen their faith. They are currently working on a Mississippi series which will feature some of the characters first introduced in their Tennessee series.
Diane is also married to a wonderful man, Gene, who is a constant support in all of her endeavors. She accompanies him on "rockhounding" trips each year and enjoys wearing the jewelry he produces from the rocks he collects. He in turn allows her to peck away at her keyboard and has even been known to give her a phrase or idea that later appears in her stories.
Diane hopes her readers find a mixture of faith, love and history in her novels, but her true goal is to glorify God and Christ.
