Diane Wagner writes historical fiction because the past is never really past. She is the author of the best-selling Cold War novel, Byline Budapest. Too young, too green, too female news clerk Charlie Atkins is eager to prove herself as a reporter. She disobeys orders to cover the 1956 Hungarian Uprising from Budapest, only to find herself a pawn in a high-stakes propaganda war between the Kremlin and her employer – CIA-funded Radio Free Europe. Diane is also the author of Corpus Delicti, the gripping true story of a precedent-setting 1956 Los Angeles murder featuring the killer’s confession. Her career includes writing for The New York Times, film, and children’s television. When away from the keyboard, Diane tends her kitchen garden, Sashiko stitches for fun, and looks after three persnickety cats.
