Col Buchanan is an Irish-based author, who was born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, in 1973. As a child, he was inclined to turn to reading and writing fantastical works to escape his troubles. Buchanan was a quiet and introverted individual who preferred to sit at the back of classrooms during his school days. His love for solitude and introspection continued into his professional life, where he worked as a copywriter and chose to sit at the back of the office. Despite his quiet demeanor, Buchanan had a adventurous side, and during his time off, he would often retreat to the mountains of Mourne for solitude and reflection.
However, Buchanan's life was not always peaceful. There were times when he found himself homeless in Belfast, lost in a Zen monastery, and even scratching graffiti as a guest of the local constabulary. These experiences, although unconventional, have added a unique perspective to his writing. In recent years, Buchanan has settled down and enjoys nothing more than gathering around a fire with good friends in the evening. His love for storytelling and writing fantastical works has remained a constant in his life, and he has become a successful author, known for his unique voice and perspective.
