Biography
Diane J Cornwell learnt to read before she started school at the age of five. At school she learnt to write the words she already recognized. She loved going to school. When she was asked to write a story on her holiday activities, Diane wrote a story on what she wanted to do, not what she did, and earned an “A” grade for the homework. That started her on a life of writing fiction.
A bi-product of all that reading was creating her own stories about determined characters who try to make the right decisions the first time during their adventures. Stories she can read over and over again just for the pleasure of revisiting the characters.
Diane wrote her first full length novel in 2007, and hopes to have many more stories created in the coming years.

Smashwords book reviews by Diane J Cornwell
- Mop Jockeys and Fighter Pilots
on July 20, 2011
A well written story that took me into the war that Captain Batista fought in her small space craft. I felt her worry and dispair at losing more of her wingmen after each attack. And, yes, I cried at the end, because there is hope even in the dispair of war.
- Spires
on July 20, 2011
I was there, breathing the air, watching the vines, as the first-person point of view character related the wonder of the strange city and alien vines. A very good read.
