Diana Dempsey traded in an Emmy Award-winning career in TV news to write fiction. The first of her ten contemporary novels, Falling Star, was a finalist for a Romance Writers of America RITA award for Best First Book. The Unstoppable Eliza Haycraft is her first historical novel. A graduate of Harvard University, Diana was born in Buffalo, New York, enjoyed stints in Belgium, the U.K., and Japan, and now resides in California with her husband and a West Highland White Terrier, not necessarily in that order.
