Meet Diann Maree
Author, Speaker & Storyteller
Diann Maree is an Australian author and intuitive storyteller who writes from the heart, with stories designed to spark connection, growth, and healing. Raised on a farm in Queensland, Diann’s life has always been deeply intertwined with animals, nature, and the quiet wisdom found in observation. From the age of nine, she was competing in showjumping competitions, already tuned into the language of animals and the rhythm of the land.
Her childhood experiences, combined with a profound spiritual awakening in 2009, became the foundation of The Grace Series - a trilogy that explores emotional intelligence, intuitive connection, and the journey of returning to one's true self. Diann is also the author of Black Swan: Who Am I? a personal guide to transformation through presence and awareness.
A Life Transformed Through Awakening
In 2009, Diann experienced a powerful shift in consciousness. For ten days, she lived as the observer of her life, free from judgment and old programming. It was here that she realised how much of our identity is shaped by unconscious belief systems and inherited trauma. That awakening didn’t just change her, it called her to share what she had seen and to fully embody conscious awareness with discipline, strength, and integrity, living as a reflection of truth, presence, and transformation, guiding and inspiring others to awaken to their own potential and purpose.

Dear Reader
I’m so excited that you’ve found your way here. Whether you’re holding one of my books for the very first time or you’ve journeyed with Grace before, please know this: These stories were written with you in mind.
The Grace Series began as a whisper from within, an invitation to reconnect with the voice of truth that lives inside each of us. Grace’s story is filled with heart, hope, and healing. As she searches for the Six Keys - Forgiveness, Trust, Faith, Happiness, Love, and Gratitude - she invites you to explore your own path back to presence, peace, and self-belief.
I’ve poured so much of my own journey into these pages, my childhood on the farm, my deep connection with animals, and the spiritual awakening that changed my life. Through Grace’s eyes, I hope you’ll find comfort, courage, and clarity. Her adventures may be written for younger readers, but the wisdom woven through is timeless. These stories are truly for anyone ready to rediscover the joy of being fully alive.
Black Swan is a more personal journey, a raw and honest look at how I returned to my truth after being caught in the noise of old stories and limiting beliefs. It’s a journal of remembrance and reflection, and I hope it speaks to you with gentleness and power.
Thank you for walking beside me and Grace. May these stories help you reconnect with your light, trust your inner voice, and remember who you really are.
With Love and Blessings,
Diann Maree
