ⓘ About Nancy Star

Nancy Star is an urban fantasy and literary fiction author from Queens, New York. She wrote her first full-length novel while she was a high school student. Much of the story was penned onto paper towels and then gifted to her best friend. When her friend later came around and informed her that she had lost the manuscript, she vowed that she would be publishing her future works in a more enduring form. Star had always been a voracious reader from her childhood and read a lot of psychological horrors such as Stephen King’s “Carrie” and “Rosemary’s Baby” by Ira Levin. Nonetheless, she also loved fiction works that combined the serious with the funny and she has continued to read such right up to adulthood. She also loved “Mad Magazine” and Kurt Vonnegut’s unique voice.
