About Nancy

  • Nancy Cole Silverman enjoyed a long and very successful career in radio before turning to print journalism and later, to fiction.

    As a graduate of Arizona State University with a degree in Mass Communications, Nancy was one of the first female on-air television reporters in her hometown of Phoenix. After moving to Los Angeles in the late 1970’s she turned to the business side of broadcasting, becoming one of the top advertising sales executives in the market. After stints at KNX, KFWB, KABC and KXTA radio, she was appointed General Manager at KMPC, making her one of only two female managers in America’s second-largest radio market.

    But in her heart of hearts, Nancy thought first of herself as a writer. In 2001 she left the radio business to found and edit The Equestrian News, a monthly publication for equine enthusiasts. “That’s when I really began to write,” said Silverman, “toggling between writing articles for the News and fiction I’d been thinking about for years.”

    Today, Nancy is a full-time author. She writes both the Carol Childs and Misty Dawn Mysteries (Henery Press), numerous short stories, and is currently at work on a piece of historical fiction.

    Her books are available in bookstores, and online at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.
