Diana Stanhope

Diana Stanhope is a connoisseur of the strange and surreal, with an imagination fueled by too many M&Ms, nacho chips, and perhaps a few unexplained anomalies on her MRI. Over 50 and proudly neurodivergent, she embraces her unique outlook on life, weaving it into dark, whimsical poetry and short stories that turn the everyday into something eerie and otherworldly. When not conjuring bizarre dreamscapes or indulging in cosmic oddities, Diana rules her kingdom with the grace of a self-proclaimed princess, supported wholeheartedly by her husband and big brother. Her three loyal rescue Chihuahuas, forever at her side, are her moon and stars as well as guardians of her throne. She invites you to step into her world—where reality bends, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and imagination knows no bounds. M&M tributes are always appreciated.
