M. L. Buchman

M. L. Buchman started his first novel while crossing the Australian Outback — mid-bicycle trip around the world. Solo. It launched a career: 80+ novels and 200 short stories. Thrillers with heart, romances with spine, and deadpan humorous fantasy, all championing the human spirit.

PW calls him essential reading for “Tom Clancy fans open to a strong female lead.” Booklist named his romances 3x Top 10 of the Year. NPR and Barnes & Noble put him on their annual best lists. A USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestseller, one reader described him as: "Nora Roberts and Robert Ludlum’s book baby."

Before writing became his full-time life over a decade ago, Matt earned a geophysics degree, spent thirty years as a crisis project manager, designed and built houses, and piloted and jumped out of planes. He can solo-sail a 50-foot ketch and recently crewed on a tall ship to Antarctica. He also quilts — arguably less dangerous than the rest.

He and his wife live on the North Shore of Massachusetts.
