Diana C. Reep

Diana C. Reep, also writing as D. C. Reep, has been a writer since she told horror stories to classmates in elementary school. As an English professor, she taught film studies, popular culture, and the Arthurian legend while publishing textbooks and literary biographies. No longer grading papers, she’s writing historical fiction about danger and excitement around the beginning of the 20th century, e.g., Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, ghosts, time travel, and danger in World War I, and sisters fighting for success in the early movie business in Chicago. Publishers Weekly has called her historical fiction “vivid,” “fast-moving,” and with high “tension.” Living in the Midwest, she crosses her fingers every fall, hoping the coming winter will be mild.
