Bio

Nancy is a native of Ville Platte, LA., the seat of Evangeline Parish, one of twenty-two parishes that make up Acadiana, also known as Cajun Country. 

Nancy graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1997.  For several years, she worked at her home town radio station, Ville Platte's legendary KVPI, before starting college at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where she graduated in 2005 with a degree in general studies and a concentration in English, emphasizing creative writing and literary studies.

A year after her father passed, Nancy moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to pursue a career in screenwriting.  One year after moving to L. A., she went back home for a visit.  While taking a swamp tour with her friends, the mystery and beauty of the area became a great inspiration to her.  She returned to her small studio apartment in Hollywood and began writing Dark Bayou, which was to become her first novel.

Nancy's mother, Dot, still lives in Acadiana.  Nancy has one sibling, an older brother, Michael.  She has a niece named Lyla, whose name fans of The Dark Series will recognize, though Nancy's niece is several years younger than the character.

Nancy enjoys spending time with her dog, Jones, outdoors in the Los Angeles area.  Her cat, Jada, often curls up on the desk next to her while she writes.  She is also a film buff and loves oldies music more than any other genre.  More than anything, she loves spending time with friends and family over dinner and laughs.
