Nanci Turner Steveson grew up in Connecticut, England and Texas with a book in one hand, the reins of a pony in the other. She is a published author (HarperCollins) of literature for young people, a lifelong equestrian, a lover of wildflowers, mountains and children — especially those who love to read and act.

Nanci grew up in a large family that was heavily involved in both opera and theater. When her own children were grown, she ditched her business-suit job on the East Coast, packed her truck and trailer with her horse, her dog, and a mysterious antique box given to her by a ghost and moved across country by herself to live in the shadow of the Tetons. Nanci continues to write books for children and is grateful to use both sides of her brain working as Education Director and Office Manager for Off Square Theatre Company.
