N. L. Westaway is the author of the urban fantasy/paranormal mystery, The Guard Trilogy, The Guard Trilogy Extended Series, and the standalone murder mystery Letters from Rachel. Nancy's path to her passion for writing novels was a convoluted path, and her love of reading didn't arrive until her late 30's, despite her mother and siblings being voracious readers. Canadian born in the 60s, she was raised in a large extended family of boys where she learned to keep her head and her elbows up and to give as good as she took. Nancy has lived in 4 different Canadian cities, but in 2006 she turned her sights southward to become a Canadian-US transplant. She currently lives in a beautiful house on the beach in South Florida with her husband, and their lab-pit mix rescue, Kinney. She loves a good cup of coffee, adores red-wine, and enjoys pizza and tacos every chance she gets. She also has several tattoos and is always thinking about her next. Her life's diversity-as you can further read on her website, has given her in-depth knowledge and understanding into the wondrous and often emotional world of human beings and their environments."The stories-they just need to get out of my imagination and on to the page."~ N. L. Westaway
