Who is Nancy Roe?

When I was twelve, I wrote an autobiography for a sixth grade English assignment. After all these years, and several moves, I still have the tattered and yellowed manuscript held together by two pieces of black yarn and three brass fasteners. In the last chapter, I wrote that I wanted to be an author. Dreams do come true!

I’m also an award-winning author.

In August 2021, The League of Utah Writers recognized me, receiving the Gold Quill Award for my book, The Accident, and First Place for the first chapter of my novel, Butterfly Premonitions.

I served as a panelist at the Killer Nashville International Writer’s Conference, speaking on the subjects of self-publishing, minor characters, and dialogue. I’m a member of Sisters in Crime, Guppy Chapter, The League of Utah Writers, Just Write Chapter, Writer’s Circle, and Newsletter/Communications Chair of the Newcomers Club of the Greater Park City Area. I’m also a contributing writer on Suite T and have written stories for several anthologies.

I have a variety of interests including organizing, reading, cooking, scrapbooking, and crafting.

I’m a Midwest farm girl at heart and currently live in Utah with my husband and two four-legged children Max and Addison.
