Nancy Wentz

Born and raised in Colorado, award-winning author Nancy Wentz graduated cum laude from the University of Colorado. Two of her short stories, Henry Cushing and Babi Yar, won awards in the National Writers Association Short Story Contest. She has also written plays for the youth group to perform at her church and has freelanced articles for her current employer. Nancy has a great love for history and English literature and, in their pursuit, has found her creative outlet by incorporating aspects of both into her writing. Her voice is unique in that it reflects a classic nuance not typically seen in modern writing. Nancy became a Christian in her childhood and has prayed consistently for God’s will in her life. Through trials of brokenness and faith, God has shown her that He uses the most insignificant and defeated things to bring about His will and glory. This theme has been the inspiration behind much of her writing: that God chooses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. Nancy is married and has a son. She and her family are active members of their church.
