Nancy Herkness
“I was trained as a poet, but from the day my
grandmother gave me my first Georgette Heyer novel I wanted
to write romance.” Nancy Herkness realized that long-
held ambition with her debut novel A Bridge to Love,
published by Berkley Sensation in August 2003.
Nancy was born and raised in the mountains of West
Virginia. A graduate of Princeton University, she majored
in English. In addition to her academic work in English
literature, she was accepted into Princeton’s Creative
Writing Program, and her senior thesis was a volume of
original poetry.
Working first in retailing and then in data processing,
Nancy finally took the plunge: she quit her job and
composed a romance novel. She put her literary career on
hold when her first child was born. Once her youngest
child was settled in first grade, Nancy returned to the
word processor and wrote A Bridge to Love.
A member of Romance Writers of America and New Jersey
Romance Writers, Nancy also writes book reviews, press
releases and newsletters. She lives in suburban New Jersey
with her husband, two children and a golden retriever.
