Born and raised in the supposed cultural wasteland of Los Angeles, Writer Colleen O'Mara-Diamond was weaned on bad ‘70s television, concrete freeways, and Barbie dolls. Leaving behind the post-modern suburb of her childhood in the Valley, Colleen lived on the Westside beside the Pacific Ocean for two decades. She moved recently to live in a historic house “in the country" in Ojai, California, where  she writes about her emerging community and all the funny, poignant, and powerful experiences that life brings her way.
