BIO -- NANCY SPRINGER


Nancy Springer has passed the fifty-book milestone, having written that many novels for adults, young adults and children, in genres including mythic fantasy, contemporary fiction, magical realism, horror, and mystery -- although she did not realize she wrote mystery until she won the Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America two years in succession.

Yes, working with AND behind his back. The first book just went out to publishers TODAY, but I have a reasonable expectation of finding a publisher. How many more books will be in this next Enola Holmes series depends on two things: how many the publisher is willing to take on, and how many years of writing do I have left in me. Thanks for asking!(less)

THE SENSUAL WRITER

Does a person need to be sexy in order to write good fiction? That’s debatable. But it’s definitely a great advantage to be a sensual writer – attentive and attuned to the senses.

Just thinking this, I remember my mother’s voice: “Nancy, listen to the spring peepers!” “Nancy, smell the honeysuckle!” “Nancy, come here and look at the praying mantis!” Mostly it was look, look, look, at least a dozen Read more of this blog post »
