Laurie Buchanan PhD

Laurie Buchanan is the author of the critically acclaimed Sean McPherson novels—pulse‑pounding crime thrillers with heart‑stopping twists that plunge readers into the depths of malice, the pursuit of justice, and high‑stakes consequences.

A cross between Dr. Dolittle, Nanny McPhee, and a type‑A Buddhist, Buchanan is an active listener, keen observer, kindness enthusiast, and red‑licorice aficionado. Her writing goal is simple: to leave readers wanting more.

Her books have earned multiple awards, including the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Gold Winner, International Book Award Gold Winner, National Indie Excellence Awards Winner, Crime Fiction/Suspense Eric Hoffer Awards Finalist, PenCraft Award for Literary Excellence, and CIBA CLUE Book Awards Finalist.

Laurie and her husband, Len, live in the Pacific Northwest with Henry, their not‑so‑standard Standard Poodle. She enjoys hiking, camping, and photography—because sometimes the best word choice is a picture.
