Nancy was born in rural Ohio and later grew up on a golf course that her dad built. She became a teacher in the same school that she went to as a little girl. She is a widow and the mother of two sons. Nancy now has three granddaughters. When Nancy's husband died suddenly, she filled her time with teaching her first graders, raising her family and writing. Now that Mrs. Scott has retired, she looks forward to publishing those books that she wrote while grieving over the loss of her husband and traveling to many places.
