NS Austin
NS Austin, more commonly known as Nancy, has published five novels: the four novel Endangered Series and Soldier, Hero, Thief, a thriller.
Nancy’s novels are a combination of rich character development juxtaposed against extraordinary circumstances. Those extraordinary circumstances may include the end of the world, aliens, talking dogs, and buried treasure, and reflect the author’s love of all things a tiny bit odd.
Nancy spent the first part of her life working to help feed, clothe, and house her family. Among her previous life incarnations, the author was an Army Colonel, a business executive, a government manager and a champion baton twirler (no kidding).
Her unusual path to becoming a best-selling author is built upon the gift of raw material for a never-ending supply of interesting, honorable, quirky, and badass characters. Now that she is mostly certain she will never have to store her worldly possessions in a shopping cart, she is free to devote herself to writing from her home in Washington State.
