ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nancy Holzner grew up in western
Massachusetts with her nose stuck in a book. This meant that she
tended to walk into things, wore glasses before she was out of
elementary school, and forced her parents to institute a “no
reading at the dinner table” rule. It was probably inevitable that
she majored in English in college and then, because there were
still a lot of books she wanted to read, continued her studies long
enough to earn a master’s degree and a PhD.
She began her career as a medievalist, then
jumped off the tenure track to try some other things. Besides
teaching English and philosophy, she’s worked as a technical
writer, freelance editor, instructional designer, college
admissions counselor, and corporate trainer.
Nancy lives in upstate New York with her husband,
Steve, where they both work from home without getting on each
other’s nerves. She enjoys visiting local wineries and listening
obsessively to opera. There are still a lot of books she wants to
read.
