Nancy Northcott has loved fantasy, science fiction, and comic books since her childhood in a small southern college town. She started writing at her grandfather's knee, when he and she drew stick figures together and made up stories about them. In time, Nancy progressed to writing stories by herself and discovered the delight of playing in her own imaginary worlds.

Somewhere around fourth grade, she realized her ambition to become Wonder Woman was doomed by lack of Amazon genes, but her inner super–heroine finds expression in her writing. Her debut paranormal romantic suspense, RENEGADE, blends the dark fantasy and action elements she loves into its heart–twisting plot. It also pays homage to the small–town values of mutual support and trust she remembers from her childhood.

Nancy and her husband have one son, a bossy dog, and a house full of books.
