I am a graphic designer with a deep love for storytelling and wonder. In my books, I blend illustration and language to create soft, magical worlds where young children can explore their feelings safely and joyfully.
When I'm not writing or drawing, youâll find my leading games and adventures at a youth organization, listening, playing, and finding inspiration in the imaginations of children.

MEET DECKER IN THE THRILLER, RISKY PURSUIT! .
Nancy LOVED writing RISKY PURSUIT about courageous Decker Savage. Thanks, Readers for all the wonderful reviews!!
Nancy G. West was a business major who switched to English lit for grad school and found that writing stories was a lot more fun than accounting. She loves writing about ordinary adults and teens faced with danger who must find the courage to save themselves and their loved ones. She paused writing her Aggie Mundeen Rom-Com Mysteries to write the book she absolutely had to write: RISKY PURSUIT.

My English war bride mother was a real penny pincher, but in the early years of their marriage, my parents had to pinch pennies. Not long after my mother arrived in the U.S., she encouraged my father to complete his education. He used the GI Bill to obtain a law degree while she was having four babies and working part time doing such odd jobs as collecting the money out of coin-operated machines in washaterias.

Ian Crouch
I am a doctor, living and working in Adelaide, South Australia. This has always been my home, apart from a wonderful year working in London in the early days. Since my teenage years, Greek and Roman history has been my favourite reading. âA Pyrrhic Victoryâ is an extension of my love of, and delight in, Greco-Roman history and literature. It was a great honour to have the book published, and even more so when it received the two literary awards: 2011 IPPY Awards. Gold Medal, Historical Fiction (Category 12 B, Military / War). Winner, Historical Fiction. NABE Pinnacle Book Awards, Summer 2012.

Jane Austen
Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.

One may trace his enjoyment of the theater back to his membership in l'Equipe, an Algerian group, whose "collective creation" Révolte dans les Asturies (1934) was banned for political reasons.
