Eliza Keane is a first-time novelist who came to fiction the long way around—by living enough of her own story first.

She lives in the Pacific Northwest, where good coffee is non-negotiable and the weather gives you an excellent excuse to stay inside and write. She is passionate about female friendship, a firm believer in banter as a love language, and convinced that forty is not the end of anything—rather, it is the beginning of the best part.

Dear Diary is her debut novel. She is already working on what comes next.
