Diana Cosby - From Navy Meteorologist to Writing Hot Medieval Scottish Romance

Welcome Diana Cosby, author of hot Scottish romances.

Tell me about your relationship with flying and aviation.
I'm not a pilot, but I'm a retired AGC(AW), which means I was a Navy meteorologist/oceanographer.  Throughout my career, I briefed numerous naval aircraft, including worked on the flight briefing desk during Operation Desert Storm in Spain. I also was a weather observer for three months at Midway Island.  Now, I write Scottish medieval romantic suspense set in the Braveheart era.

How did your first career lead to your second?

Being a Navy Chief Meteorologist/ Oceanographer allowed me to pursue my passion—writing romance novels. With 31 moves behind me and having traveled through many more countries, I was anxious to create characters who reflected the amazing cultures and people I’ve met over the years.

What are you writing now?
I'm working on the 4th book in the MacGruder brothers series. Book Three will be released in November 2010. 

My years of living in Europe drew me to write in the medieval time frame. After watching the movie Braveheart and with my passion for writing complex plots, I knew I had to write in this volatile medieval timeframe, hence the MacGruder brothers were born.

"Cosby delivers a medieval battle-of-wills romance designed (for) those who enjoy good repartee, 13th-century backdrop...and sensuality." Romantic Times

Diana is a proud member of RomVets (military women who've turned the sword into a pen) I have an amazing family and am proud of, my husband who recently retired from the Navy after 24 years, my oldest son who is serving in the Marine Corps, my daughter who is attending college, and our youngest who will begin college in a couple of years.

"I have many passions in life, but one that resonates in my life is that of giving. I firmly believe that each of us can make a positive difference in another person’s life. There are so many charities that I believe in. With each book I sell, I will tithe ten percent of my royalties to a charity of my choice. The first charity I've chosen is The National Trust for Scotland, which acts as guardian of Scotland’s magnificent heritage of architectural, scenic and historic treasures. Without the National Trust for Scotland, many of Scotland’s historical wonders would be lost."
