Meet Nancy

Nancy is surrounded by children’s books, and that’s how she likes it. Her former profession as a primary school librarian together with her evening ritual of writing or ‘pondering’ her next children’s story has provided the perfect creative atmosphere. She fondly recalls childhood evening story times and credits her father’s never-ending supply of humorous stories for her love of reading and writing. She has a master’s degree in Elementary Education from Morehead State University and a master’s in Library and Information Science from the University of Kentucky. Nancy lives in Kentucky, in the very log cabin in which she grew up in Knott County. She shares this home with her husband Larry and two canine writer assistants, Pippin and Harrietta.

Here I am with my little girl, Pippin.  Pippin is a miniature schnauzer, but she thinks she's a little person with bushy eyebrows.  I think Pippin's right, no matter what she thinks.

This is Harri and her sister, Pippin, along with me, her mama, who was a dalmatian for Halloween.  Harri is part collie and part whoknowswhat.  The best part is that Harri loves her mama, never mind the fact that Mama isn’t even part damatian.
