Diamond Parker Stone’s author portrait, seated at a marble desk with an open notebook

Some arrangements
make a very good story.

Stories for complicated people

Diamond
Parker
Stone

Smart, sensual fiction about the agreements we make and the lives we insist are perfectly normal.

The terms are rarely the whole story.

About the author

Curious about people.
Suspicious of fine print.

Diamond Parker Stone writes contemporary fiction about desire and the strange private rules people build around themselves.

She is especially interested in what happens when ordinary life gets bureaucratic, when bureaucracy gets personal, and when everyone involved decides to keep going anyway.
