Diana Palmer (Susan Spaeth Kyle) was born on December 11, 1946, in Cuthbert, Georgia, the eldest daughter of William and Eloise Spaeth. She and her younger sister, Dannis, were raised in Chamblee.
Susan graduated from Chamblee High School in 1964. At 54, she went back to college, inspired by her husband who quit his job to pursue his diploma in computer programming. She graduated summa cum laude from Piedmont College, Demorest, Georgia, in 1995 with a major in history and a double minor in Archaeology and Spanish. In addition to her writing projects, she was working on her master's degree in history at California State University where she plans on specializing in Native American studies.
Before writing fiction, Susan Kyle was a journalist for sixteen years under her birth name. Susan began selling romances in 1979 as Diana Palmer. She also used the pseudonyms Diana Blayne and Katy Currie, and her married name: Susan Kyle.
Though, as Palmer, she has published under the auspices of Silhouette, Fawcett, and Ivy, as the twenty-first century approached she began putting novels out with Mira. Among these is 1998's Once in Paris. Brianne, its young heroine, gets sent to Paris to study by her stepfather. While there, she falls in love with a much older man - a man who is involved in under-cover espionage. A Publishers Weekly reviewer, discussing Once in Paris, commented that "the dialogue is charming, the characters likable and the sex sizzling."
In 2001, Palmer's The Texas Ranger became available to her fans. As in many of Palmer's romances, the hero and heroine have had a more or less disastrous encounter earlier in their lives, and circumstances bring them back together. In this case, Texas Ranger Matt has testified against Josette during the trial of a man who assaulted her, but now they must work together to investigate a murder that may be linked to organized crime. The following year, Palmer published Desperado.
Now, she has over 40 million copies of her books in print, which have been translated and published around the world. She is listed in numerous publications, including Contemporary Authors by Gale Research, Inc., Twentieth Century Romance and Historical Writers by St. James Press, The Writers Directory by St. James Press, the International Who's Who of Authors and Writers by Meirose Press, Ltd., and Love's Leading Ladies by Kathryn Falk.

Quotations:
"I was born in Cuthbert, a small rural southwestern Georgia town where the majority of the people were farmers. For the first five years of my life, while my parents completed their college degrees in Atlanta, I lived with my mother's parents on their tenant farm in Calhoun County, Georgia. It was while following my grandfather's plow across the fields that I collected arrowheads and developed an interest in prehistoric indigenous Americans."
"As a young girl, I was privileged to experience a way of life which is now found only in history books. We had no modern amenities on the farm, which meant that we had to draw water from a well, cook food on a wood stove, and go to bed by kerosene lantern. This glimpse of the past gave me a wonderful background in the hardships of nineteenth-century life. I have used it to great advantage in my writing."
"From the time I was thirteen years old, I wanted to be a writer. I joined the staff of two newspapers when I graduated from high school, hoping to improve my style and learn more about gathering information. After I married in 1972, my husband John never minded helping me with housework and with our son, Blayne, so that I had enough time to write while working full time as a reporter every day. There were editors who taught me to polish my style, librarians and friends and a loving sister who encouraged me. Later when I was published, I found myself with a wonderful following of loyal readers whose kindness and loyalty helped me through some very hard times. They are my family, and they come in a rainbow of colors, religions, backgrounds, and viewpoints. I love them all."
"God willing, I hope I can keep writing books for a long, long time. If, through my work, I can bring joy to one heavy heart, or surprise a laugh from a throat tight with pain or grief, then I will feel that my life has been worthwhile."
Diana Palmer is a member of the following organizations: Authors Guild, National Geographic Society, Cousteau Society, American Museum of Natural History, Custer Battlefield Preservation Society, National Cattleman's Association, Smithsonian Institution, American Archaeological Association, Metropolitan Opera Guild, American Federation of Herptoculturalists, Lionel Railroaders Club, Star Trek Fan Club, Piedmont College Anthropology Club.

Quotes from others about the person
As a writer for Twentieth-Century Romance and Historical Writers observed, "Palmer has a special talent for developing disagreeable heroes, then letting them be changed by love. Although her novels are generally short, she manages to make this reversal of character believable."
Susan married James Kyle in 1972. They have a son, Blayne, who is married to the former Christina Clayton.
