Born
in Brooklyn, New York, Nancy grew up
one of three children. She is also an
identical twin. Raised
Italian-American, Nancy has a strong
sense of family, an affinity for its
customs and a love for pizza and a
good bagel. Brooklyn is the basis for
her inspiration and where she still
calls home.
Before
writing memorable stories for
children, Nancy earned a Bachelors
Degree in Psychology from Hunter
College in NYC. She was employed at
Citicorp, in various Human Resources
Functions from 1984-1998. After
exploring a career in the corporate
sector, residing in NYC, traveling and
sometimes skiing through Europe and
out West, Nancy returned to Brooklyn
and started a family.
Nancy
has authored nine stories to date. The
Caterpillar that Wouldn’t Change
is her first published story. Nancy
didn’t grow up longing to be a
writer. In fact the urge, as strong as
it is, is relatively recent. After her
father’s passing, it was the birth
of her daughter that compelled Nancy
to write her first story Papa in
the Sky, a story about a young
girl wanting to know more about her
late grandfather.
Nancy
channels her motivational messages
through her writing to help children
as well as some adults address common
issues. Some of these issues include
questions about death/heaven, dealing
with change, accepting differences in
others, feeling similar, stealing,
appreciating your twin, and making
meatballs!
Nancy
is a member of the Society of
Children’s Book Writers and
Illustrators (SCBWI).
When
she isn’t writing, Nancy enjoys
music, reading biographies,
recreational running, skiing, weight
training, classic art, and time with
her children. An avid cook and cooking
student, Nancy has also been featured
on the Food Network.
To
date, Ms. Mure´ remains a permanent
fixture in Brooklyn with her two
children.
