Nancy Robards Thompson

Nancy Robards Thompson is a renowned author, known for her vivid imagination and engaging contemporary and historical women's fiction. She currently resides in northeastern Tennessee, but her writing takes her all over the world. Thompson has worked a variety of jobs in the past, including production and extras casting for movies, serving as a television show stand-in, and several roles in the fashion industry and public relations.

Thompson earned a degree in journalism, but found that reporting "just the facts" was not fulfilling for her. She discovered her true passion in writing fiction and has never looked back. Thompson has achieved great success as a writer, with over 30 published books to her name. She has been recognized for her work with two nominations for the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart award, and won the award in 2002. Critics have praised her novels as "funny, smart and observant."

Thompson has had a successful career as a writer, but it did not come easily. She began writing fiction seriously in 1997 and completed four manuscripts before finding success. In 2002, she won the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart award for unpublished writers and sold her first book the following year. This achievement was the result of her dedication to her craft and her perseverance in the face of rejection. Thompson has since found her calling as a full-time writer of romance and women's fiction, and her work continues to be celebrated by critics and readers alike.
