Nancy Boxer grew up in the Motor City. A well-known bookworm ("Nancy, get your nose out of that book and come to the dinner table!"), she started writing stories and plays at an early age. She won the national awards for high school journalism two years in a row.

Graduating from Harvard with a bachelor's and a master's degree, she went on to consult, research and write, co-authoring such literary gems as Interceptor Sewers and Suburban Sprawl, and Nuclear Power Plant Performance. Her testimony helped stop the spread of nuclear power plants, a good thing since our country still lacks a viable strategy for disposal of nuclear waste. During the AIDS crisis she wrote a number of short biographies of people with AIDS, caretakers and professionals including hospice nurses and a deputy warden at San Quentin Prison. She has served time as an elected member of her local school board. She also takes credit for co-authoring two sons, a hampster, two dogs, eight birds and a lop-eared bunny. She lives and hikes around Philadelphia, PA.

Her recent novel, The Cavekeeper's Daughter, has earned 5-Star reviews on Amazon.com.
