Who is Diane Farr?

Diane Farr is an American historical romance novelist. She is best known for her Regency romance, published with Signet Regency romances.

Her first book The Nobody, her second bookFair Game and her fourth bookOnce Upon a Christmas were all finalists for the "Best Regency" RITA award in the year of their publication. Additionally, The Nobody was a finalist for the "Best First Book" RITA award and won Romantic Times magazine's Reviewers' Choice Award for "Best First Regency" in 1999. RITAs are awarded annually by Romance Writers of America Romance Writers of America. However, her Regency romances which featured no sex scenes or mild sensuality weren't marketed properly, and didn't sell as much as expected. In the mid-2000s, Signet stopped publishing traditional Regencies and Farr lost her writing contract, shortly after publishing four longer traditional Regencies.

Farr then published a young-adult paranormal novel Wicked Cool, published in 2010 by Cerridwen Press and subsequently offered in print form through CreateSpace by the author. She is also the author of A Month of Sundays, and four short plays published by Russell House. Some of her books, long out of print, have been republished as e-books and are now available through the usual sources.
