Born in Brooklyn, New York, Nancy
grew up one of three children. She is also an identical
twin. Raised Italian-American, Nancy has a strong sense
of family, an affinity for its customs and a love for
pizza and a good bagel. Brooklyn is the basis for her
inspiration and where she still calls home.
Before writing memorable stories
for children, Nancy earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology
from Hunter College in NYC. She was employed at Citicorp,
from 1984–98 in various Human Resources Functions.
After exploring a career in the corporate sector, residing
in NYC, travelling and sometimes skiing through Europe
and out West, Nancy returned to Brooklyn and started
a family.
Nancy has authored seven stories
to date. “The Caterpillar that Wouldn’t
Change” is her first published story. Nancy didn’t
grow up longing to be a writer. In fact the urge, as
strong as it is, is relatively recent. After her father’s
passing, it was the birth of her daughter that compelled
Nancy to write her first story “Papa in the Sky”
a story about a young girl wanting to know more about
her late grandfather.
Nancy channels her motivational
messages through her writing to help children as well
as some adults address common issues. Some of these
issues include questions about death/heaven, dealing
with change, accepting differences in others, feeling
similar, stealing, appreciating your twin, and making
meatballs!
Nancy is a member of the Society
of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).
When she isn’t writing, Nancy enjoys music, reading
biographies, recreational running, skiing, weight training,
classic art, and time with her children. An avid cook
and cooking student, Nancy has also been featured on
the Food Network.
Ms. Mure´ remains a permanent
fixture in Brooklyn with her two children and her faithful
dog, Fred.
