Lara Nance - Bio
I grew up in the south, where iced tea is always sweet and BBQ is a religion. I went from
reading every horse story in the world, to Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, and then on to mysteries
and sci-fi/fantasy.
About 1986, I wrote my first novel (Star Trek fan fiction.) Not having a computer back in those
days, I wrote the whole thing in a notebook with a pencil. When it was complete, I knew I was
hooked, because I'd never stuck with any of my artistic hobbies as long as I did writing that book.
So, I wrote another story (fantasy this time), and next, a thriller. Then I went through, well,
LIFE, that included three marriages, eight geographic moves, and changing careers from being a
marketing manager to a nurse practitioner, which required going back to college to get a masters
in nursing.
Finally, in 2008, my writing mojo returned and I decided to pursue publishing. After many
long hours of learning and giving up all pretense of outside fun, I moved into the ranks of
published authors.
My first published novel, Memories of Murder, won several awards in 2012 and continues to
receive wonderful reviews (I LOVE that story!!) The first book in my Draculaville series won the
Rudy Award for best novel with romantic elements in 2013. I am blessed.
I've now published more than a dozen books and short stories and am thrilled to be able to
share my love of adventure, sci-fi/fantasy, romance and mystery with my wonderful readers. Yes,
I write in different genres, but the basis of all my tales is my attempt to entertain you.
Until the wind changes, I'm living on my sailboat in Florida with my husband, Joe, and our
two Yorkies, Belle and Bruno.
