Jean Buchanan, a Scot brought up in Wales (Cardiff), has always wanted to be a writer, and , in particular, to write comedy. She started by writing short stories for women's magazines (Woman's Weekly, Bella, My Weekly), which made a change from her day job as a lexicographer on the new ed. of the Oxford English Dictionary. Then she switched to researching quotations for Oxford Dictionaries of Quotations - her favourite, naturally, is Humorous Quotations (various editions, ed. Ned Sherrin, then Gyles Brandreth). She is married to a theoretical physicist, and once met Douglas Adams at a garden party.
