 About The Author

Short Bio: 

Diane Merrill Wigginton was born in Riverside, California in 1963. Her family moved to San Diego near the end of 1970, where she grew up in the newly developed community of Mira Mesa. 

Spending portions of her summers each year in Burly, Idaho with her mother's parents, Florence and Orval Merrill, Diane developed a love of animals and a respect for the land. It was during this time on the farm riding horses, herding cattle and taming wild kittens that Diane developed a love of storytelling. 

She dreamed that one day she would become a published author and share her stories with the world. 

Having spent her entire life in California, Diane and her husband, David made the bold move from Sacramento, California to Kalispell, Montana to retire in February 2018.  Now she’s able to pursue her passion for writing books full-time.

“I am thrilled and elated to be doing what I love. Writing and being a grandmother.”

I was born in Riverside, California in 1963. My family moved to San Diego when I was seven, where I grew up in Mira Mesa. I spent my summers each year in Burly, Idaho with my mother's parents, Florence and Orval Merrill. That’s where I developed a love of animals and a respect for the land. It was during this time on the farm riding horses, herding cattle and taming wild kittens, that I developed a love of storytelling. I dreamed that one day I would become a published author and share my stories with the world. Having spent my entire life in California, my husband Dave and I made the bold move from Sacramento, California to Kalispell, Montana to retire in February 2018. Now I am able to pursue my passion for writing books full-time and hanging with my grandkids. “I am thrilled and elated to be doing what I love.” I play with the grandkids, talk with my kids and hang out with my husband, our new friends, and of course I write. What could be better than that?
