Diana (Giberson) Farthing is an author, poet, photographer, and retired Federal Aviation Administration manager.
She has lived in Topeka, Kansas, for eighteen years, in a 100-year-old home she renovated. She calls her home “The Breton Manor,” although definitely not a European-sized manor. Think of the movie, The Money Pit.
Diana has one grown child, a daughter, and two grandsons, who live a few miles from her. She lives with one dog, a Champion Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, named Pepper.
She hopes to publish the first book of her Fantasy Trilogy soon. Plus, enter two short stories and a poem in the next contests. After retiring, Diana has been much happier having time to spend on her favorite obsessions: writing, reading, her camera, and traveling. Her love of books started very young, as her father frequently moved his family around the world and within the U.S. with his job in the oil industry. She based her life on fictional characters' experiences, lacking few social ties.
To support her love of books, Diana taught electronics and avionics communications in the Air Force, starting when she was 18. After the Air Force, she worked as a computer technician for Control Data Corporation. Then, she was an instructor teaching electronics, computers, and robotics for Control Data Institution, ITT, and Mt. San Antonio College, in Southern California. She finished the last 30 years of working in the FAA.
Diana recently created a new website, which is a lot different from the ones she built back in the late 1980s. She relates her new website to writing and shooting photos.
