Nancy's Books

Because my work and personal lives are watercolor paintings—blending, swirling, merging with zero clean lines—I've stopped trying to separate them. Dividing the two? It's not happening. They've long since eloped and are living happily ever after.
I want to tell you a little story to wrap this all up, which includes my stubbornness, or as I call it, my perseverance. I attended a workshop in 1994. We were all asked to share the title of a book we'd like to write. I had never written a book, but blurted out "Psychic Detective." Everyone thought it was fiction. When I told them, "Uh, no... that's my job," their eyes widened. And then they said the stuck words: "Write the book."
So I did—kind of. The first version? No editing (except maybe my husband gave it a once-over, but don't quote me on that). I interviewed detectives and used their exact words—no filter, no polish. I printed 100 copies only for my clients. No marketing. Zero polish. Just me putting it out there.
In the early 2000s, I gave it another shot. I still had a lot to learn. I tried marketing (badly), but hey—I loved writing it. It just wasn't my best work yet. Around then, I also wrote an animal communication book. Some people liked it! I never did anything with it—I just told people about it—classic me.
My poor husband (he's a gem) played the unofficial roles of editor, formatter, and therapist when I panicked over sentence structure. Eventually, I got smart and said: What if I asked for help? So I joined a fabulous organization full of writing coaches who ensured I didn't just dream the books—I finished them. With lots of guidance, sweat, and reworded run-on sentences, I finally did it.

Today, I have three books I'm proud of:
1. The Life of a Psychic Detective
2. Soul Detective: How to Solve the Inner Mystery of You
3. Nature Speaks (which bloomed from my earlier book All Nature Speaks, but trust me, this one has 50 extra pages and way more heart—I rewrote the whole thing after giving the first one a side-eye).
Sometimes, the best work takes a few drafts, decades, and a lot of soul.
