My Story

I live in upstate New York with my two rescue dogs. Misty was a breeding dog for 7 years in a puppy mill. Onie is from Puerto Rico. Personality abounds in these two as they find their way into each other's hearts. But they have already found their way into mine and I thank them every day with lots of love, treats, play and walks I also partake in several hobbies that include biking, gardening, hiking, kayaking and watching movies (lots of them and all kinds).
I have been writing in some form or other since high school when I bought my first guitar (a 12 string for $50 from a magazine) and began writing songs. In college, I started my first novel that I hope to go back to and finish someday. I love the mind's imagination and creative processes, where one of my greatest pleasures comes from--writing. It's so rewarding to create characters and their stories, but even more so to share them with my readers.
I continue to write songs and perform now and then with Dooley (my music partner) We have a CD of original songs, and it is available for your enjoyment. Visit me at nancenewman.com to check it out and where you'll also find a library of my books.
Lastly, thank you to all of you who support my writing and music! It means the world to me.

I have been singing, playing guitar and writing music since high school. I was fortunate to meet someone many years ago who shares this passion with me. Diane(Dooley) and I have been performing and writing music together for over twenty years. We’ve performed at small cafes, weddings, occasions such as Cancer Survival Celebrations and lots of campfires. Over the years we’ve written music about life’s events-everything from losing hair due to chemotherapy to losing love. And just as there is lots of harmony in life, there is lots of harmony in our songs. So take a listen. We hope you enjoy our music as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
