About Lori

Lori Burchmann is a seasoned management accountant whose professional journey spans over 35 years across a range of industries. Throughout her career, she developed a deep understanding of people and the subtle dynamics that drive effective workplaces. This lifetime of observation and experience culminated in her first non-fiction book on emotional intelligence—a powerful reflection on how empathy, self-awareness, and communication can shape both personal and professional success.

Beyond her work in numbers and strategy, Lori has a creative soul. She finds joy in writing poetry and crafting fiction works that bring mystery, intrigue, and deception to the page. Her writing reflects a rich inner world shaped by decades of reflection and connection, offering readers of all ages something meaningful to take away.

Lori lives with her husband in the picturesque town of Armidale, New South Wales, where the cool New England air provides the perfect backdrop for both creativity and contemplation. When she’s not writing or working, you’ll likely find her crocheting by the fire, enjoying a glass of wine or a gin and tonic with friends, or engaging in long, thoughtful conversations with her children—often about the state of the world, abstract ideas, or life’s deeper questions. For Lori, life is a balance of intellect, creativity, and heartfelt connection.
