Nancy Warren

Nancy Warren is a Canadian writer of contemporary romance and cozy mystery. She received her first publication contract after winning Harlequin's 2000 Summer Blaze contest. Since then, she has released more than 100 novels, novellas, and short stories, has been twice nominated for the Romance Writers of America's RITA Award, and won a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award.

Biography Warren was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. After graduating with an honours degree in English literature from the University of British Columbia, she began work as a journalist. For five years, she worked her way up the journalistic ladder, from answering phones to writing to editing. Two weeks later, Harlequin bought two manuscripts which she had previously submitted. One of these, Flashback, became her first published novel, a July 2001 Harlequin Temptation. The other, Shotgun Nanny, became a Harlequin Duet. Her work with the NASCAR series was featured on the front page of the New York Times. She has won the Lauren Wreath Award, the Colorado Romance Writers Award, and a Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Blaze. She has further been nominated for a Romantic Times Career Achievement Award in series romance, and has twice been nominated for the Romance Writers of America RITA Award, the romance author's equivalent of an Academy Award.
