About the author

Los Angeles Times bestselling author Dianne Emley is a Los Angeles native, growing up in the multicultural Northeast side. She earned a B.A. and an MBA, both from UCLA and soldiered through a variety of day jobs, landing in business middle management. Early morning before she headed to the office, she wrote fiction. Her first book, Cold Call, a mystery about Iris Thorne, a sexy, single L.A. investment counselor in the "greed is good" late 1980s, was sold at auction to Pocket Books/Simon and Schuster and published in 1993. It was followed by four more in that series.

Dianne then took her writing in a new direction and began her series about Nan Vining—a haunted and driven homicide detective and single mom. The first in the series, The First Cut (2006), was a Los Angeles Times bestseller and hit #1 on Amazon. Currently, there are six books in the Nan Vining series.

The Night Visitor, a standalone paranormal mystery, was published in 2014.

Critics around the world have praised Dianne's books, which have been published in 20 countries and translated into six languages: "A gripping page-turner..." (Library Journal); "Expertly plotted... redolent with suspense and action..." (Florida Sun-Sentinel); "A superior piece of storytelling..." (Los Angeles Times); "Relentless suspense..." (Booklist).

Dianne lives in California where she writes full time and is a pretty good cook and a terrible golfer.
