“As the mother of a girl who played hockey in a world where that wasn’t the norm, I’ve seen firsthand how hard it is for girls to break barriers and chase dreams that don’t fit the mold. I write these stories so girls can see themselves in roles they’re not usually seen in, heroes, athletes, rebels, and problem-solvers. My books are about showing young girls that being different is powerful, and that their dreams are worth fighting for,” explains Fairchild.

Whether visiting classrooms or connecting through her stories, Fairchild shares a message that resonates with students and teachers alike.

“Be bold enough to chase your passions. Make your path, even when it's hard,” says Fairchild.

That message comes to life in her two acclaimed book series:

The Buddy and Panda Mysteries:

In this delightful mystery series for children, two curious canines, Buddy and Panda, join forces with their human companion, 10-year-old Eva, to solve everyday puzzles with a nose for adventure. From missing hockey sticks to cryptic locker room notes, these stories are packed with charm, humor, and heart.

Told from the viewpoint of the dogs, the Buddy and Panda books offer a fun and unique take on the classic whodunit, perfect for young readers who love animals, teamwork, and clever thinking. Lori Briley says the idea came from watching her daughter break barriers in sports.

“In our part of the world, girls' hockey isn’t popular. My daughter was often the only girl on the ice, but she persevered. I wrote these books so no other girl would wonder if there was anyone else out there like her.”

For older readers, The Palumbra Chronicles offers a thrilling dive into a dark and dangerous future.

The first book, The Lost Years, introduces Maeve Jackson, a 17-year-old girl living under the crushing control of the World Government. When she discovers a mysterious time capsule from a lost era, Maeve and her friends begin a courageous journey that challenges the lies they’ve been taught and uncovers truths that could set them free.

A thought-provoking series with the emotional depth of The Hunger Games and the intensity of Divergent, The Palumbra Chronicles invites teens to think critically, question authority, and believe in the power of resistance and the strength of friendship.

One reader raved about The Palumbra Chronicles, saying:

“This is a great read full of twists and turns. It keeps you guessing and wanting to find out more. Can't wait for the next book in the series and for more books from L.D. Fairchild.”
