About Diann Floyd Boehm

My Author Journey

I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and raised in Texas alongside my five lively brothers—there was never a dull moment! From an early age, I loved inventing stories and bringing them to life through acting and song. That early spark for storytelling grew into a lifelong passion. After many years of teaching in the United States and abroad, I decided to channel my imagination into writing books that inspire and delight children around the world.

What I Write

I write children’s picture books and young adult historical fiction—each one rooted in hope, compassion, and creativity. My stories encourage children to dream big, embrace kindness, and see the world with curious eyes. You can find my books on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or at your favorite local bookstore. Visit the Bookshop page to explore my titles.

Beyond the Books

When I’m not writing, I love bringing stories to life through school visits, book signings, and author talks. I enjoy engaging with young readers, answering their questions, and helping teachers use my books to spark cross-curricular learning.

As a speaker, I design uplifting talks for conferences, educators, and family audiences—encouraging imagination, empathy, and creative thinking. 

My Life in Education

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education from George Mason University and a Kindergarten Endorsement from the University of Texas at Austin. I’ve taught preschool through middle school, both in the U.S. and abroad, and was among the early educators to bring technology into the classroom. Helping teachers and children explore learning through curiosity and creativity remains one of my greatest joys—and continues to inspire the stories I write today.

Life, Travels and Inspiration

Married to my husband, John, a diplomat, I’ve had the privilege of living in the Philippines and serving as a guest author in schools across Dubai and Saudi Arabia. I continue to be an invited author at events throughout the United States. Traveling and connecting with people from diverse cultures has shown me how storytelling bridges hearts and communities. We’re blessed with three grown children and one wonderful grandson, who continues to spark my imagination every day.

Humanitarian Heart

My humanitarian work with international organizations has given me the opportunity to share stories that bring communities together. Wherever I go, storytelling becomes a bridge—a universal language of hope and understanding.

My Story Continues

What began as simple bedtime stories has grown into a collection of books cherished by children and families around the world. I continue to write, teach, and speak about the magic of imagination and kindness—because every story holds the power to make the world a little brighter.
