Diane Wahn Shotton, a native of Covington, Kentucky, a suburb of Cincinnati, resides in Cave Creek, Arizona. After extensively researching her family history, she began writing historical fiction, drawing on her ancestors’ experiences. With a strong German heritage, her stories often explore themes of survival and resilience shaped by the political and cultural climate of the times. Her debut novel, Motty’s Vow, self-published in November 2024, was warmly received with good reviews. Diane won third place in a creative writing contest while attending Paradise Community College. Now retired, she enjoys spending time with her seven grandchildren and writing stories inspired by the untold chapters of her family’s past.
