Nancy Hamilton

Nancy Hamilton is a retired high school business teacher, lifelong storyteller, and children's author who lives in the beautiful Finger Lake Region of Upstate New York.

Inspired by the traditions, beauty, and simple joy of Keuka Lake, Nancy writes heartwarming stories that celebrate family, friendship, kindness, and the memories that connect generations. Her books are filled with real places, authentic experiences, and the people--and the animals--who have touched her life.

Nancy is the author of The Lake Remembers, Keuka Summer, Keuka Winter and Feta's Lake Journey, a true-inspired story about a rescue dog who traveled from Alabama to find her forever family beside Keuka Lake. Through stories, she hopes to inspire compassion, gratitude, and a love for the special moments that become lifelong memories.

When she isn't writing, Nancy enjoys spending time with her family, creating gift baskets featuring Finger Lakes products, supporting local merchants and rescue animals, and sharing everything she loves about life in the Finger Lakes.

Whether you're discovering the magic of Keuka Lake for the first time or returning to memories of your own, Nancy hopes her books leave readers smiling long after the final page.
