Diane Compagno

Diane Compagno (AKA Marie Cloud), is the author of the mystery, thriller, "Mind Games" and a science-fiction, thriller, "Deadly Rains". Under the pen name of Marie Cloud she wrote the book "Stolen Memories", about her families experience with Alzheimer's Disease.

After going through a very sad and intense personal experience with a mother who developed Alzheimer's Disease, Diane decided to write down her experiences in order to help other caregivers or family members who have to live with this disorder.

Once retired from a job where she worked for many years in the computer field, she began to get restless. She enjoying shows such as X-Files and Nova, her interest in technologies of the future opened up a love of writing about these types of subjects. Thus her book "Deadly Rains" evolved. Later she found herself once again coming up with a new story line which evoved into "Mind Games" her latest book.

Living in AZ with her husband now, Diane enjoys writing as a hobby and loves coming up new story ideas. She hopes that many others will enjoy them as well. Perhaps this will even encourage other budding writers out there to come up with their new and wonderful ideas. Her husband, three children, and three grandchildren are the loves of her life.
