Nancy Nau SullivanNancy Nau Sullivan began writing wavy lines at age six, thinking it was the beginning of her first novel. It wasn't. But she didn't stop writing, letters at first, then eight years of newspaper work in high school and college, in editorial posts at Nw York magazines, and for newspapers throughout the Midwest. She has a master's in journalism from Marquette University. Nancy grew up outside Chicago but often visited Anna Maria Island, Florida. She returned there with her family and wrote an award-winning memoir THE LAST CADILLAC (Walrus 2016) about the years she cared for her father while the kids were still at home--a harrowing adventure of travel, health issues, adolescent angst, with a hurricane thrown in for good measure. She went back to the setting for the first in her mystery series, SAVING TUNA STREET, creating the fictional Santa Maria Island where Blanche "Bang" Murninghan fends off drug-running land grabbers and solves the murder of her friend with the help of her Native American accomplice, Haasi. Blanche has feet of sand and will be off to Mexico, Argentina, and Spain for further mayhem in the series. But she always returns to Santa Maria Island. Nancy, for the most part, lives in Northwest Indiana. Find her at www.nancynausullivan.com, on Facebook, and Twitter @NauSullivan. Read More Read Less
