For Nancy Spicer, writing Sally and Sebastian was a way of imagining a love story for someone just like her-a midsixties mom, grandma, and great-grandma who isn’t kidding herself but still hopes for romance. The fiction flew so close to her own life that her kids accused her of having a relationship they never knew about.
Nancy earned a bachelor’s degree in social work in her fifties. She’s a fan of physics, of water and greenery in all their forms, and of the Oregon Ducks and the Tennessee Titans.
