Verity A. Buchanan grew up drinking in the glacier-formed ridges, jewel-blue lakes, and sprawling orchards of Northern Michigan. Enthralled by love of the land, she lives in search of fresh sights and settings, so as to ground her stories as far as possible in the honesty of experience.

When not scribbling down snippets of dialogue or staring hopelessly at a blinking cursor, Verity is probably browsing Lord of the Rings, pouring out emotions on the piano, or snapping pics with her beloved 2016 iPhone SE — her other favorite way to capture the lifelong moments of beauty.

Verity adores cats, and, to be specific, her family’s muted calico Celestia (Her Ladyship). She is fond of yellow dresses, the color blue in any shade, and also of snow, though the six-month winters of her home territory do drag out wearisomely. Her enthusiasm for people finds an outlet in teaching piano, working customer service at her local farm market, and forging connections with readers and colleagues across the globe.

The Ceristen Series, family-oriented fiction with a focus on the everyman, is releasing from Verity A. Buchanan on a TBD timeline. Follow on Instagram, or check out her Goodreads for book recommendations!
