Diana Castilleja has been writing as a career since 2004, but it wasn't the very beginning. Her first attempt was more than ten years ago. Her first try at writing was nearly straight plagiarism of a Jo Beverley title, a historical story that she still owns (and loves). Since then, she's moved several times, divorced and remarried, and was once again bitten by the writing bug. Since 2004 she has written 15+ novel length stories, ranging in Romantic Suspense, Contemporary, and a definite favorite of her own tastes for reading, Paranormal. | Diana Castilleja has been writing as a career since 2004, but it wasn't the very beginning.

categorary:Contemporary Diana Castilleja has been writing as a career since 2004, but it wasn't the very beginning. Her first attempt was more than ten years ago. Her first try at writing was nearly straight plagiarism of a Jo Beverley title, a historical story that she still owns (and loves). Since then, she's moved several times, divorced and remarried, and was once again bitten by the writing bug. Since 2004 she has written 15+ novel length stories, ranging in Romantic Suspense, Contemporary, and a definite favorite of her own tastes for reading, Paranormal.
She knows that she wouldn't have made it this far without the support and camaraderie of her friends and writing mayhem makers. With their constant pushes and online support, there's no question what an asset they have been to her progress. She works everyday to payback a little of that support, and to make a positive impact on those around her with her stories.

In alphabetical order:
Aurora Salvage is looking for a new life, and a new leaf to turn. She’s alone for the first time in ten years, when she looses her husband in a tragic accident while he is on assignment. Drake McKenna is the resident professor of the little New England town she’s moved into. A small park is the center of the community, and it’s the first place she finds a level of comfort. This is an unfortunate turn for Drake, who’s all but claimed the park as his own personal sanctuary where he could hide himself and his wounded heart.
When Drake’s father falls ill, however, his only recourse is to return to Scotland, and see for himself how things are, as well as try to keep his brother’s wife from claiming their heritage from under his brother’s nose. He returns to find his father sick and in bed, but not on the deathbed his brother had first insinuated. Instead, he and Aurora shock not only the household, but his brother, when he returns with her as his wife. Sean described their father’s illness as worse than it was to convince Drake to return home, but he’d not expected the turn of events, nor how deeply all would be affected by his homecoming.
