An American living in Ireland. Though could be naturalised Irish by now.

Looks like a woman to me?
Anne McCaffery also was an American living in Wicklow, Ireland, but Diane Duane has a better reason. Also there is much less prejudice about LBGQT in Ireland than Northern Ireland.
There is a scheme where if your work (each title separately) is deemed of cultural value by the Irish Tax people you pay no tax on the royalty for that title. You fill in a form for each title. For most authors in Ireland the issue is making enough money to be liable for tax at all, rather than proving the work is of Value.

She married Northern Irish author Peter Morwood in 1987; they moved to the United Kingdom and then to Ireland, where they reside in County Wicklow.

Legally due to the GFA (threatened by Brexit, hence NI Protocol) her husband is totally Irish and totally British. However the British have had to be taken to court about it, see Emma de Sousa from NI who married an American, so it's much simpler for an NI person married to an American to live in Ireland than N.I, which is still in the UK.
