D.S. Sager (Diane) has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since she was a small child. She resides with her English husband Russ, three dogs, two cats and an African grey parrot named Storm. She holds a fascination for all things macabre and has developed a deep knowledge of serial killers, vampires, zombies, the Tarot, world religions, witchcraft, horror and the occult. Although she uses her "apocalyptic" name for her work in the horror genre, she also writes as Diane Sager. A former high school teacher of emotionally disturbed and high-risk youth, Diane is now dedicated to full time writing.
