Know more about Diana von Oertzen

Diana holds a Master of Arts degree in Cultural Sciences, specializing in Cultural Anthropology, English Literature, and Economic & Social History. This background has greatly influenced her storytelling, allowing her to create immersive worlds and characters that resonate with readers.

She lives with her husband in the picturesque southern region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, working as a professional graphic designer and project manager in the marketing department of a cancer research-focused clinical research organisation.

In 2013, she decided to fully pursue her life-long passion for writing and storytelling after not finding enough science-fiction books written by women and featuring complex female main protagonists. This eventually lead to the creation of her Cadet Chronicles series. These standalone novels transport readers to an alternative universe where 1950s aesthetics meet space travel, resulting in a delightful blend of rockabilly space opera romance.

Diana\'s stories focus on feel-good, cozy escapism, providing a much-needed break from the harsh realities of the world. They are the perfect companions for a warm cup of your favorite beverage, a cozy blanket, and some relaxing music.
