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, Jazi and Roxi.
Here are my little girls, Jazi and Roxi, miniature schnauzers. They think they're little people with bushy eyebrows. I think Jazi and Roxi are right, no matter what they think. Jazi and Roxi have just learned to sing the "Happy Birthday" song. They are quite the crooners if I do say so. Jazi is singing lead, and Rozi is humming in harmony.
As you can see below, Jazi and Roxi are hard at work, dreaming up plots for my next book.
