Dianna T. Benson
Suspense Author
Bio
After majoring in communications and enjoying a successful career as a travel agent, Dianna left the travel industry and moved on to writing novels while earning her EMS degree.
A part time EMT in Wake County, NC, she loves the adrenaline rush of responding to medical emergencies and helping people in need, often in their darkest time in life. Her suspense novels about intelligent, athletic and adventurous characters provide readers with a similar kind of rush. She’s a lifelong sports enthusiast and athletic competitor in running, climbing, cycling and scuba diving and loves to travel and read. Married to her best friend, she met her husband, Leo, while walking down the aisle as bridesmaid and groomsmen at a wedding when she was eleven and he was thirteen. Dianna lives in North Carolina with her husband and their three athletic children.
"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:31
Dianna's personal quote - "The grass isn't greener on the other side, it's just different."
