About the author
My name is Diana
Diana Holbourn has written self-help articles and is the author of The Early Life of Becky Bexley the Child Genius and other books about the same character. Taking short psychology courses, working as a hippie and reading psychology books has prepared her for writing the self-help information that appears as part of the story.
Diana lives and works on the south coast of England, where the sun shines… sometimes.
After reading the first Becky Bexley book, I was hooked. Now that I've read three more from the series, I can honestly say that I'm a superfan!! Author Diana Holbourn manages to combine serious topics, advice, and interesting facts with a lighthearted humour that will make readers laugh out loud even while they're learning some pretty important stuff.
