Nancy McKenzie

Although she has written stories since adolescence, Nancy
McKenzie worked as a medical secretary, hospital clerk,
college philosophy instructor, manager of a 60-horse show
barn and mother of three daughters before she published her
first novel at 46. "Writing used to be my hobby," McKenzie
says. "I used to write for relaxation and to please myself.
Now that I have the opportunity to please other people as
well, I work harder at it." A graduate of Mount Holyoke
College with an M.A. in Philosophy from Tufts University,
Ms. McKenzie lives in southern Connecticut with her husband
Bruce.
