A gritty New Englander, Dianne C. Braley found love for the written word
early on, reading and creating stories while trying to escape hers, growing up in the
turbulent world of alcoholism while living in the tough inner city. After putting her pencil
down for a time, she became a registered nurse, finding strength and calm in caring for
those who couldn’t care for themselves. Still, she never lost her drive to write. Seeing a painting and remembering a visit to Martha’s Vineyard as a girl and falling in love when her bare feet first stepped on the sand, she moved there for a time, caring for ailing Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist William Styron until he passed. He not only was her patient but soon became her friend and motivator. He and his books helped her realize she missed crafting stories, and she had some to tell. Dianne and her family live north of Boston but never far enough away to lose her city edge. Her multi-award-winning novel The Silence in the Sound was published in 2022.
