Nancy writes from a life lived at full volume. Raised under carnival lights and shaped by grit, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, she carries stories forged in motion—Teamster halls, boxing rings, kitchens, recovery rooms, carnival lots, and movie sets. Her lineage runs through fierce women, Native spirituality, survival, and stubborn grace. She stood her ground where she wasn’t expected, told the truth so cleanly it rearranged the room—and it cost her. She kept going when quitting would have been easier. Nancy’s books carry pulse, weight, and emotional force because they come from a life that knows impact. She knows words have consequences, that a sentence can bruise or heal. She invites her readers to feel, to remember, and to recognize something true in themselves that may have been waiting for permission to speak.
