<p>Nancy Collander's lifetime with animals frames the way she sees the world. Dogs are her teachers, providing her a unique outlook on life and amplifying her wry sense of humor. A lifetime of dog adoption and rescue provides the framework for Nancy's first book, <em>Through Their Eyes; Reflections on joy, loss, and learning</em>. Twenty-seven years on a small farm in Central Ohio led to <em>Short Notes from a Small Farm</em>, a series of short stories about a city girl's life in the country. Her short story, <em>Foal Watch,</em> placed first in the Westerville, Ohio, "Celebrate the Arts Writing Contest" in 2021.</p><p>Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Nancy's creative writing spark was kindled at Ohio Dominican College where she earned her Bachelor of Arts. Nancy now resides in Michigan.</p>
