I was born in London in 1955 and currently live in Essex, England. I have been married for almost 42 years to my beautiful and very understanding wife Karen and we have two wonderful daughters and 3 going on 4, exceptional grandchildren.

I have been writing for most of my life, beginning with comedy plays, radio scripts, sketches, and poems. I have had many comedy theatre plays published on 2 different internet websites. www.lazybeescripts.co,uk and www.scriptsforstage.co,uk
And had some performed in the theatre.

I now also write novels and have a great publisher. The majority of my books are westerns and all are available on Amazon. One of my latest westerns, in collaboration with the outstanding Western author, Wayne Winkle, (Gone To Texas B

I wanted to create a fast-moving short book of around 35,000 words that had twists and turns and soap opera-style cliffhangers, that make the reader want to see what happens next. The idea was to write it as if each book was like a TV episode.(less)

It is a mystery/adventure with more twists and turns than a ballerina on stage. However, my latest book, entitled Ghost Town, which will be available in June/July is an idea I have had for some time. It is a Western adventure, mixed with an Agatha Christie-style murder whodunnit, plus a supernatural suggestion.(less)

“Parthena
Just a thank you to anyone who purchased my western novel 'Parthena' on Amazon Kindle, during its promotional period. The promotion is now over however if anyone is interested, it is still available at the normal price on Amazon Kindle. Thankfully it is not an expensive read. If you like a western with a difference, this one links Victorian London with the Wild West of Wyoming. Many thanks again.

Gary Diamond [book:Harbinger Island|59407098

Just to say, that so far, I have had good reviews for my new novel, Harbinger Island, on Amazon. Available on Kindle and paperback.

I am planning to have the second book in the series available, before Christmas.

Gary Diamond Parthena
I haven't been active on Goodreads for some time, due to a health issue, which I am currently having tests for. Fingers crossed and all that. Regarding my book, I have had some great advice from some people in the Goodreads family, to suggest my novel Parthena, would be better as a two book series, rather than one very large book. I have taken that on board, re edited the novel and they are now available on Amazon Kindle, we have Parthena - Book 1 and Parthena Book 2 (The Conclusion).
Thank you all for the help you have given me.

Gary Diamond Parthena
I have had some very good feedback on my novel Parthena and have been asked if there will be a second book. The answer is there will, 'Parthena - The Rising Of The Phoenix' is in the advance planning stage. However at the moment I am writing a detective styled whodunnit with what I hope to be a regular police detective and his family. I am hoping to complete this so that it could be available for around Christmas time. I have also written a new comedy play which is available on
www.scriptsfourstage.co.uk
along with 3 other plays that I had previously written. (I also have a number of comedy plays available on another internet Script website called Lazy Bee, on www.lazybeescripts.co.uk

Still in lockdown in the UK, I am keeping busy by writing. Apart from my detective whodunnit novel that I am currently working on and the planning of the next Parthena book, I am also currently writing a comedy play with a partner via email and Facebook Messenger.

Parthena, is still available on Amazon Kindle. If you like a western with a difference, this one links Victorian London with the Wild West of Wyoming. It's a western adventure, a mystery and a love story.
