Diamond Drake is the author of three dramatic works; Imagined Love, For the Love of Jade (the sequel and 2013 International Book Awards Winner!), and Love's Fool (2012 Editor's Choice). At the age of six, when her first grade teacher chose her short story as the best and read it for the entire class, Diamond knew she wanted to be a writer. Seeing that dream realized has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding aspects of her life. Affectionately dubbed as THE Diamond, she enjoys writing stories that touch reader's hearts beyond the pages. Being able to connect so personally with others through her words brings Ms. Drake the most joy.Born and raised in Gary, IN, Diamond Drake now lives in Stockton, CA, with her husband, teenage daughters, and German Shepherds.
