Beloved writer Nancy Quinn is an internationally known bestselling author and wildlife artist who has won prestigious awards in literature and art. She is a member of Western Writers of America and her books are loved world wide for their honest and inspiring content. Her wildlife art is noted for its detail and accuracy, and she is the recipient of two World Wildlife Art Championship awards.

Nancy has always had a love of animals and nature. After college, she worked as a conservation law enforcement duty officer for the state of Florida. She volunteered her spare time at wildlife rehabilitation centers, bringing their birds and reptiles into the schools to educate children of all ages.

Over the years she has handled many domestic and exotic species, including cougars, leopards, and tigers, and always had interesting stories to tell about her encounters with wild animals. Upon leaving a suburban lifestyle in the metro Washington, DC area to live on a rural mountainside, she discovered a new world of exciting and unusual adventures. Encouraged by friends and family alike, she wrote her first book, "Go West, Young Woman!" which was honored with the Will Rogers Medallion Award.

She lives with her family, dogs, and horses in the wilds of Montana where she continues to paint and write about her experiences living in the still wild west. She also enjoys creating new recipes in her kitchen, studying interior decorating, and fashion design.
