Welcome to Dianna’s Writing Desk
I’ve been writing since I was eight years old, reading since I was two and a half, and published since 1997 (with poetry) and 1999 (with fiction). My mind swims in imagination and bursts with ideas, and sometimes that’s as painful as it sounds, so my aim with this Substack is to have a more structured outlet for it all.
My favourite authors, since childhood, stirred a passion in me for dark fantasy, horror, anything paranormal, and sizzling hot romance as well as poetry, philosophical wonderings, and the need for emotional transformation through words. I write feelings in all their guises — raw and explicit (and in British English) — so my books are intended for adults. See them all at diannahardy.com
I also paint and sketch with watercolour and ink for relaxation and inner peace. I post those on here, too.
This Publication is Always Free
Subscribe for free to receive email alerts about pre-orders, new releases, cover reveals, sneak peeks, thoughts on writing, and occasional discounts and offers on books. Articles tend to go out about once a month.
You can unsubscribe at any time from either section: Manage your newsletter subscriptions here.
Paid Subscription Option
This option is simply for those who wish to support what I do as a ‘thank you’ (which of course will be gratefully received). As I said, all my news is free to all at the point of posting, and up to a year after.
Paid subscriptions have a couple of auto-perks, though:
you’ll see all archived posts older than a year, and all paywalled articles and stories
if my books get thrown off platforms (banned) you’ll still get access to those books via the paid subscription
