About

Bronwyn is a nurse by day and writer by night. She is married to a fellow food and wine lover and wrote a wine blog for three years. She is published in academic journals, which was the impetus for choosing an alias when she self-published her first novel. The name Rohret Buchner is derived from the maiden names of her grandmothers. She has raced sailboats at more than 9,000 feet, savored the best that grapes can offer, and owned a hockey team. She lives with her husband in Denver where she is inspired daily by the majesty of the Rocky Mountains.

The Valley of Heart’s Delight Series, written under her married name, is a family saga set in California’s Santa Clara Valley. The story begins in 1857 with Custodian of the Spirits, where Fiona Lenihan travels west with her children. Along the way there is action and adventure, love and friendship, and ground-level participation in an American West forged by people from different cultures, beliefs, and traditions. Custodian of the Spirits received the 2021 Colorado Book Award for Best Romance.

The Shalemar Trilogy — Length of Days, Poetry of Days, and the forthcoming Wonder of Days — is a sci-fi/fantasy series that incorporates historical fiction, political intrigue, epic fantasy, and romance. Written under the pen name Rohret Buchner, the series explores what happens when Shara Kennington, a woman from the modern world, finds herself in a hidden world that has evolved separately over the last five hundred years, and what happens when the modern world “discovers” this world.
