About the Author

Dianna Gunn is a freelance writer by day and a fantasy author by night. Her dark fantasy novel, Moonshadow's Guardian, was released in November 2018 and followed with Moonshadow's Champion in 2024, completing the Moonshadow Rising Duology.

Gunn's shorter fiction has appeared in Broken Olive Branches, Tiny Frontiers, Tiny Dungeons, and the award-winning Nothing Without Us, Too. She also published many of her own flash fiction pieces in Killer Debt: An Anthology of Murder, as well as publishing others' stories in Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror.

In 2026, Gunn returned to long-form fiction with the release of her first gothic horror novel, Woman of Sorrow and Blood. With this project completed, she plans to return to fantasy next, writing a new series in the world of Moonshadow.

Gunn is also the founder of Weeknight Writers, a social enterprise dedicated to providing accessible community and educational support for fiction writers. She has hosted a variety of virtual events through Weeknight Writers, including one-day virtual conferences known as Storycrafting Sessions and First Draft Fall, a replacement for the now-dead NaNoWriMo.
