The Diana Garry Book Series

Diana Garry is a doctor of Archaeology at Bath Sulis University in the south-west of England.

In her 30’s, she has long given up on the idea of romance in her life. She has one passion and that is her Archaeology. Diana has specialities in the Phoenicians, Celts and Romans.

The world is a straightforward and straightforward place, as is its history. Everybody knows and accepts that. Modern history started with the adoption of agriculture in around 9000 BCE in the fertile crescent around the middle east that today includes northern Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria and Iraq. The ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, and Phoenicians were all responsible for the development of civilisation as we know it.

People and events can be categorised as religious and irrational or logical and scientific. Everything can be explained by science. Or so she thought.

In the Diana Garry book series, we follow Diana as her rigid belief systems are challenged in every possible way.

In ‘The Huntress’ she must confront her belief that reincarnation is a new-age idea gleaned from the far east without any basis on truth. She will glimpse the past, but not in an era that she is comfortable with. And her relationships in her own life go in an unexpected, but welcome direction.

In ‘The Priestess’ a more mature and happier Diana is brought in on a dig that always had the possibility of challenging Columbus or the Vikings as the first visitors to the Americas from the Old World. But its ultimate conclusions could challenge her more fundamental tenets. Will Diana get through this in one piece?

In ‘The Heiress’ a simple rescue dig finds a more relaxed and open-minded Diana once more challenged by the history she knows and loves compared with the evidence and visions she sees in front of her.

In ‘The Prophetess’ the Greco-Roman era bursts into life for her as she yet again digs her trowel into a site dedicated to the moon goddess.
