Hello out there,

I don’t want a web site. Doesn’t feel right for me. I’m low-tech, low-maintenance, lowfalutin to a fault -- but on the other hand, I wish I were not quite so low-profile, given that I write high-quality novels. So, reluctantly, I’m setting up this, um, let’s not call it a web site, keeping it stone simple, thus:

I have published forty-five books so far, many of which are listed here. The recent ones are mostly for young adults. You can find out about my books on any bookseller’s web site or at us.penguingroup.com. You can find out about me personally by -- well, heck, look at the photo. The question is whether I’m halfway up the stairs or halfway down. The Zen answer is never mind symbolism; seek the uncluttered background for the difficult subject. That would be me. Contrary. Don’t call me an author, I’m a professional writer, and don’t try to get me into pantyhose. Drown me and you’d have to look for the body upstream.

I do go with the flow sometimes, attempting to exhibit appropriate behavior when attending conferences or visiting schools. I’ve been told I’m a highly informative, down-to-earth, entertaining speaker. (Modest, too.) If you’d like to contact me FMI about that, please e-mail me (nancywrotebooks at gmail dot com). In any event, please remember: this isn’t a web site; it’s an existential yawp that contains an e-dress. Thanks.

Humbly if mulishly yours,

Nancy Springer
