Josh Lanyon, eigentlich Diana Killian ist eine US-amerikanische Kriminalschriftstellerin. Ihre Werke als "Josh Lanyon" sind zumeist Kriminalromane, deren Handlung auch eine Liebesgeschichte zwischen den (männlichen) Protagonisten enthält. Einige ihrer neueren Werke (Strange Fortune, The Darkling Thrush) sind eher dem Bereich Fantasy zuzuordnen. Alle gehören jedoch zu dem relativ neuen Genre M/M-Romance. Lanyon lebt und arbeitet in Los Angeles.
