About the Author
diane jane ball
Diane has written two books so far about the lives of the Austen family: The Austens of Steventon and The Austens of Bath.
She is now busy with her third book, The Austens of Chawton, which she plans to release at the end of 2026.
Her love of Jane Austen began at school and grew into a wider passion for history in all its forms. Visiting historic places is one of her greatest joys, especially when she can pause and picture the stories that unfolded there long ago.
She regularly posts about her visits on social media, and you can find her here.
Diane also helps to run the Association of Self-Published Authors (ASPA), where she is a co-owner.
