Diana Finley was an ‘army child’, the youngest child of her British officer father and Jewish Viennese mother, who met in Palestine during World War 2. Diana was born in Germany, where her father was posted after the war. The family moved to London during the Sixties. At eighteen, Diana spent nearly a year living with nomadic people in a remote part of Afghanistan – a life-changing experience.

Back in England, Diana got a job for Macdonald Educational, writing and editing information books for children. On their honeymoon, she and her husband found a small house high in the hills of Northumberland, and decided to move their lives there from London. The north east of England has been their home ever since.

Diana trained as a Speech and Language Therapist at Newcastle University, and worked for many years in Northumberland, specialising in supporting autistic children and their families. In 2009 she published a professional book on autism.

In 2011 Diana completed an MA in Creative Writing with distinction, which helped to forge her decision to return to her first love of writing, and become a full-time writer. The Loneliness of Survival , her first book, drew loosely on the experiences of her parents, but it is written as a novel and not a memoir. It was published in 2014 by Indigo Dreams, a small independent publisher. Her second book, Finding Lucy was published by HQ at HarperCollins in 2018. HarperCollins are currently re-publishing The Loneliness of Survival under the new title of Beyond The Storm .

2014

She squeezes her eyes tight shut and then opens them wide. As on other mornings, she wonders if perhaps she is dead, and exactly how she would know. The sun has not fully penetrated the maroon silk curtains, but creates a rosy pinkness in the gloom of the bedroom, which could be taken as heaven. A moment later the clatter of the drinks trolley in the corridor convinces Anna that it is not heaven, and that she is still alive. She remembers that today is her hundredth birthday.

The continuous preparations have become more than a little irritating, but she’s tried to keep quiet, to accept it in good humour. Tomorrow is the great day, they kept reminding her, making a ridiculous fuss about it. As though one day makes such a difference, even this day. Doreen had done her usual ‘popping in’ and asking if Anna was excited. She said yes she was, just to please her.

‘But don’t make too many advance preparations. After all, I might die in the night.’

‘Anna! Honestly, shame on you!’

‘There’s no shame in death. What a waste of effort it would be, and such a disappointment for the other residents.’
