I write dramatic epic historical romance as Diana Groe and sexy, light-hearted romps as Emily Bryan. Both my incarnations are published by Leisure Books. For more about my stories, please visit www.dianagroe.com and www.emilybryan.com.
A classically trained soprano, I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa and sang opera professionally. Unfortunately, operatic heroines often come to bad ends. My heroines get to live AND keep the guy! What a nice change!
I grew up in Iowa, but my husband and I have lived in 9 different states. Currently, I call New England home. Wherever I happen to be, that’s my favorite. Long ago I heard someone say, “If you ain’t where you are, you’re no place.” The sentiment stuck.
I hope you’ll share your thoughts with me on this space!

I love your new updated websites. Very user friendly. Thanks for making it easier for those of us who are interested in the books to be able to write to you and to find out what is going on easily.
Thanks, Robbie! I’m always thrilled to hear from readers. Make sure you stop by my websites each month for new contests and author interviews. In January, I’ll be interviewing RT Top Pick romantic suspense writer, Colleen Thompson.
Happy New Year!
Diana/Emily

I see you are from North Iowa. I have relatives from the Northwood, IA (Worth County) area.
My husband grew up in Northwood. You’re probably a cousin of Brian’s. He always claims anyone who spells the name GROE, is a relative.
See you at the reunion.
