Nancy Elaine
Turner was born in Dallas, Texas and grew up in Southern
California and Arizona. She began writing fiction as
an assignment for a class at Pima Community College and
completed a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts Studies from the
University of Arizona in 1999 with a triple major in
Creative Writing, Music, and Studio Art. She lives in Tucson
with her husband and Snickers, a dog rescued by F.A.I.R.
She has two married children and three grandchildren.
She also enjoys the outdoors, theater, movies, and antiques.
"Writing
historical fiction is much like working on a term paper
every day. My story is never far from my mind. I
create characters by mingling traits of people. I love all
my characters, too, especially those with complexity that
makes them seem all the more real. I believe the locale of a
story can be as much a part of the book as a character, and
I use settings I know well enough to describe in
detail."
