Nancy
S. Mure was born in Brooklyn, New York on a crisp autumn morning in October of 1965. An identical twin. Nancy
was raised one of three daughters in a loving
Italian-American household where she
developed a strong sense of family, an affinity for
its customs and a love for pizza, and a good bagel. Brooklyn is her inspiration and where she still calls home.
Before writing "feel good" stories for children ages 6 and beyond, Nancy was employed in the private sector in various financial and HR Functions. Throughout her 14 year career, she lived in NYC, attended evening classes at Hunter College in NYC and graduated with a BA in Psychology. She traveled extensively throughout Europe, and managed to ski quite frequently to keep things fun.
As with all things appreciated with the passing years, Nancy desired to have a strong hold to her roots and as fate would have it, she returned to Brooklyn to start a family. It was the emotional weight of her daughter's birth that compelled Nancy to write a story about her late father then later, a story about dealing with change and never giving up.
Once the creative dam was broken, Nancy continued to write and more stories were born. Nancy's other published stories gently confront concerns such as feeling similar, jealousy, karma, twin-ship, diversity, Brooklyn's Quaker parrots, Riceballs and Making Meatballs! Though the topics mentioned may be daunting to some, (especially making meatballs), Nancy's stories are motivating, inspiring and have a high "feel good factor." Her book, titled The Caterpillar that Wouldn't Change has been compared to the "The Little Engine that Could" by Watty Piper while Papa in the Sky has alikeness to "Love you Forever" by Sheila McGraw, in that these stories instill powerful messages of perseverance, acceptance, encouragement, self-esteem and personal growth in both young children and adults.
Nancy is a proud supporter of the Go Green! Campaign and is super proud that her books are a contribution to that crusade. Hailed as a pioneer for digital reading, Nancy’s mission is to introduce an eco-friendly alternative to conventional books by exposing educators, children, and their parents to an exciting new way to read. She does this by appearing as a featured Author in public and private schools in the NY, tri-state area.
Nancy's books are available on NOOK at barnesandnoble.com, She is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and is a freelance food writer for Abbondanza! Magazine, a contributing Author for Life Manual for 21 Century Women, by Svetla Bankova, is featured in the Man Book, 101 Things Every Man Should Know How to Do, published by WEBook 2008 and available on amazon.com.
