Joan Buchanan is a writer who honed her craft by penning hundreds (maybe thousands) of emails during her many years as a human resource professional. Retired from that, she practices yoga, swims, reads, gardens, bakes, travels, and goes on long walks. Originally from a small town in northern Iowa, she and her husband raised their two children in suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota. Being the daughter and sister of pilots, she has spent her fair share of time at airfields both large and small.
