Diane Rapaport, a former trial lawyer, has made a
new career as an award-winning author and speaker. She brings history to life with true stories from
colonial New England, and she uses her legal
training to help people find ancestors and trace regional history in underutilized court records. Her special interests include 17^th-century New England, American legal history, and Scottish heritage.

Her latest book is The Naked Quaker: True Crimes and Controversies from the Courts of Colonial New England, published by Commonwealth Editions in October 2007. Her first book, New England Court Records: A Research Guide for Genealogists and Historians (Quill Pen Press, 2006), received three 2007 Benjamin Franklin Awards from PMA, the Independent Book Publishers Association. Diane’s articles for New England Ancestors magazine, some of which appear in The Naked Quaker, have earned three “Excellence in Writing” awards from the International Society of Family History Writers and Editors. She also writes a Scottish genealogy column for The Highlander magazine, and she is currently working on a historical novel about 17^th-century New England and Scotland. Diane lives in Lexington, Massachusetts.
