USA Today bestselling author Diana R. Chambers was born with a book in one hand and a passport in the other. She studied Asian art history at university, worked at a Paris translation agency, then began an export business in India. This led to Hollywood costuming and scriptwriting, until her characters demanded their own novels. Her latest, The Secret War of Julia Child, published by Sourcebooks Landmark, is a People magazine Must-Read and a Washington Post Best Historical Fiction of 2024. She lives in NorCal and southern France.
