Diamond Wilson loves travel and adventure. She ate a worm-burger and chicken feet in South America, backpacked through Europe, rescued a friend from arrest in Mexico (the Federales were really very nice), had coffee with the French police, was kicked out of a train station in Italy for having feet on a chair, and spent a night on the beach in a thunderstorm in Spain.
She has a favorite scarf that functions as a blanket, a swimsuit, a towel. She doesn’t leave the house without at least three electronic devices, a protein bar, and her passport – because you never know where life might take you.
Diamond released her first novel, The Caves of Qumran, in 2013 and continues to write poetry and fiction. She speaks five languages, and oh, yeah, she free-style raps when around very close friends.
Diamond enjoys playing basketball, hiking, floating the river, watching the sunrise at the beach, Latin dance, reading, writing, and making hand puppets in the light of projector screens.
