<p>Nancy Quatrano has been writing since around the age of 13. She was sure she would die when her first crush went home after summer vacation where they met on the Great Lakes. Born and raised in New Jersey, her poems became song lyrics when she learned to play guitar. Her passion for mysteries started with Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy books, blossomed with Agatha Christie and Edgar Allen Poe, and then grew into a love for Sue Grafton, Robert B. Parker and Elmore Leonard, to name her favorites. She’s been published since 1999 in short fiction and currently has a mystery series in publication as well, writing as N.L. Quatrano.</p><p>She’s a neighborhood columnist for the St. Augustine Record where her column is published semi-monthly. When she’s not working with Rotary, the town empowerment group, or her church, she does content editing, copy writing, and press releases at her business, On-Target Words. And in her spare time, she writes her novels. She says that her two long-time feline companions help her work the late nights to keep her fiction writing going. </p>
