About Gill

Gill Buchanan is a writer of uplifting Women’s Fiction whose novels celebrate mid-life, second chances, and the quiet courage it takes to reshape a life. She began writing in her early forties and quickly discovered that being at her keyboard—creating characters and weaving storylines—was where life felt most thrilling and fun. Since then, writing has become both her passion and her happy place.
Her novels are perfect for readers seeking a relaxing yet engaging escape, filled with warmth, humour and heartfelt moments. Gill creates relatable female characters who particularly resonate with mid-life readers, and her life-affirming stories balance drama, poignancy and gentle wit. In every book there is at least one character to root for, and even those who seem less likeable are given depth and redeeming qualities that make them feel real.
After moving to Suffolk, Gill chose to set all her novels in this beautiful county, drawing inspiration from its historic villages and the elegant town of Bury St Edmunds.
Alongside engaging characters and comforting settings, Gill enjoys exploring contemporary, thought-provoking themes that add richness and relevance to her stories.
Gill Buchanan’s writing is influenced by authors such as Hilary Boyd, Erica James, Sally Page, Faith Hogan and Clare Chambers, whose uplifting novels and gentle humour she greatly admires.
All her novels are available on Amazon and
FREE to download if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription.
