Diann Schindler served 25 years in higher education, first as an instructor of writing and ultimately college president. When she retired, she dabbled in tennis, music, and writing. Yet, her dream was to travel and write books. In 2015, her fantasy was realized.
She sold her house, her car, and all her possessions, save her tennis racket and Taylor guitar, and began her odyssey in Portugal. Four years later, Diann had explored 46 countries in 5 continents.
With world as her muse, this solo nomad wrote her first novel, “Just A Girl” and it sold very well. It was ranked “sixth best coming-of-age fiction in 2107” by Amazon.
Her friends, in American and abroad, urged her to write
her nonfiction book, “The Essential Guide to a Life of Travel: the ABC’s International Travel.”
Her third book, “Claim Denied”, an electrifying international cyber-espionage thriller, emerged from her experiences as a higher educational consultant at an American university in Kosovo. Publication is early winter, 2021.
Diann's podcasts are fun, informative, and lively, focusing on her travels; personal experiences, challenges, and reflections; writing tips; and love stories, fictional, of course.
For now, Amelia Island, Florida is her home. When she isn’t writing, podcasting, biking, or swimming, Diann is drinking wine with friends.
You can reach her through her website, DiannAbroad, or at diann@DiannAbroad.com. She would love to hear from you!

“Wives
Who Kill” - Sophie and Hannah: Two women with different
backgrounds, different circumstances, and different mindsets. Yet,
both are wanted for murder. What made them do it? Court-appointed
forensic psychologist Dr. Rosie Klein untangles the web of
circumstances surrounding each violent crime . . . and much
more!
At the recommendation of the judges and attorneys who appoint her
to the cases, Dr. Klein first evaluates Sophie's case, then
Hannah's state of mind at the time the women committed their
separate crimes. Her search for mitigating factors, and her
recommendations, will assist the Court during the sentencing phase
of each woman's trial. Or should their charges of murder be
commuted . . .based on what Dr. Rosie finds?
You be the judge after you read the reasons behind Wives Who
Kill.
