W.D.L Diamond
Where the stories live and breathe.
A mother-and-son writing duo cutting stories from the dark. Dark fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, and everything that keeps you reading past midnight.
Who we are
Westley & Deborah Langley
We’re a mother and son who decided the best way to survive the strange business of being human was to write about it. So that’s what we do — together, across every genre we can get our hands on.
Dark fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, mental health, and a good bit of rock n’ roll. We are, on any given day, spectacularly flailing around and somehow turning it into pages. You’re very welcome to flail along with us.
