Today the Liberty States Create Something Magical Conference Speaker Interview Series continues with author Diana Cosby:
- What made you want to become a writer?
-An avid reader throughout my life, when I retired from the Navy, I decided to follow my dream and try to write. Over sixteen years have passed, and I still love telling stories.
- Is there one piece of advice you would give an aspiring writer?
-My advice to aspiring writers is to believe in yourself and dare to go after your dreams; only YOU can tell YOUR story!
- If you could co-write a book with any author, dead or alive, who would it be?
-An amazing dream for me is to co-write a book with Nora Roberts. She has the innate ability of writing amazing and complex stories that touch your heart.
- Who is on your bookshelf?
-I’m currently reading Sweet Talk by Julie Garwood, The KNIGHTS TEMPLAR and SCOTLAND by Robert Ferguson, and Edward II The Unconventional King by Kathryn Warner.
- Can you tell us about one of the most memorable moments in your writing career thus far?
-I’ve been blessed with numerous memorable moments in my writing career. I’m humbled to share that for my very first book signing, I was invited to sign with Nora Roberts at Turn The Page in Boonsboro, MD. As well, I was honored to speak at the Library of Congress.
- Tell us about your newest release/current work in progress.
-I write Scottish medieval romantic suspense during Scotland’s Fight for Independence. In December 2015, An Oath Sworn, the third book in The Oath Trilogy was released. I’m currently working on Forbidden Legacy, the first book in the Forbidden Series, which will be release in August 2016. The Knights Templar have fascinated me over the years, and woven within the Forbidden Series are my thoughts of what happened to the Knights Templars.
