About the author

Diana C. Gleasner was an American author whose books ranged widely across travel, biography, and children's literature. Sources connected with her publishing and bibliographic records show works including Florida Off the Beaten Path, Oahu Traveler's Guide (with Bill Gleasner), and The Strange and Terrible Adventures of Popoki, the Hawaiian Cat.

She also wrote nonfiction for younger readers, including books in the Breakthrough series about women in writing and women in science. That mix of subjects suggests a writer interested both in helping readers explore the world and in introducing them to notable lives and careers.

An obituary for Diana Cottle Gleasner states that she was born on April 26, 1936, and died on October 30, 2018, at age 82. Public author pages and library-style listings confirm a substantial backlist, but I couldn't verify a dependable official portrait from the pages available, so no profile image is included.
