The
Whole Story
Diana Rodriguez Wallach was born in Ridley Township, PA during the
Great Blizzard of 1978. Since then, her birthday festivities have
been frequently snowed out, though that didn’t stop her from following
the cold winds north to Boston University where she graduated with
a B.S. in Journalism from the College of Communication.
During her junior year, she spent her spring semester studying in
Madrid, Spain where she worked for a university-run radio station.
She backpacked across Europe, staying in many sketchy establishments,
and even spent spring break with her now-husband, Jordan, in Bali,
Indonesia.
Post graduation, Diana moved to Manhattan where she worked as a
reporter for a hotel trade magazine and learned how to write lots
of copy very quickly. She also briefly worked as the managing editor
of an online real estate publication before moving back to her native
Philadelphia. Pledging to do something more meaningful with her
life, Diana joined the nonprofit world where she worked as the communications
associate for an organization focused on improving public education.
Diana began writing her first novel in late 2004 after a Salem,
MA psychic curiously predicted she would go on to write children’s
books (seriously…read the whole story). She wrote two novels before Amor and Summer
Secrets sold to Kensington Publishing. Her agent called with the
good news on Fat Tuesday 2007 while she was at Mardi Gras wearing
beads and feathered mask.
She currently lives in Philadelphia with her husband Jordan and
her cat Lupi, who was rescued from a shelter in Harlem. Diana enjoys
traveling, watching bad TV (which she thinks is awesome), reading
great novels, practicing yoga and cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles.
