	'''Nancy Springer''' is a writer.		'''Nancy Springer''' grew up in western Pennsylvania helping her parents tend a small motel they owned. After graduating from college in 1970, she began writing because "[I had] a lot of people galloping around on horses inside my head. I would lie in bed till noon just daydreaming. Got worried about myself. Thought if I could offload some of the daydreams onto paper I might be able to function more normally." [interview]

			According to the interview, her first two books (''The White Hart'' and ''The Silver Sun'' were written in scraps of time taken between caring for her children, her Pastor/husband, and their home. After several years of treatment by doctors and psychiatrists to help her "adjust" to her roles, she told her husband that she was going to write for two hours every day. She marks this decision as the beginning of identifying as a writer and of discovering herself.

			''The Silver Sun'' first edition paperback features blurbs from Anne McCaffrey and Marion Zimmer Bradley:
			"Three cheers ... for a genuinely new fantasy writer... someone special in the fantasy field" -- Anne McCaffrey
			"It has everything; a believable fantasy world...a lovely, poignant book." -- Marion Zimmer Bradley

			She has published over 40 books in fantasy, poetry, mystery, and children's genres. [Author's Website]
