Nancy Quatrano

Nancy Quatrano's (aka N. L. Quatrano and Nancy L. Quatrano) stories have almost always involved dark, hard topics that deliver a satisfying ending. A mystery lover at heart, her romance roots show through like a bloodstain on a white blouse.

A multi-published short story author since 1999, she edited, contributed, and produced 30 Shades of Dead for the NJ Sisters in Crime group. Her short story "YELLOW RIBBON" was a Writer's Digest Writing Competition honorable mention (2004) and was later published by Wild Rose Press for three years. It's now available as a Kindle publication on Amazon.

Her award-winning private eye mystery manuscript, MURDER IN BLACK AND WHITE became a full-fledged book in August of 2015 and was recognized as a Finalist in the Book Excellence Awards. STILL SHOT (book 2) was released in November of 2016 and won the Book Excellence Award in Suspense. She's a contributor and the editor and creator of Snowbird Christmas collections Vol 1, Vol 2 and Vol 3 available through Amazon and all e-book outlets.

Two Stone Lions Press released MERCIFUL BLESSINGS in March of 2018 and the launch book signing at the Liberty States Fiction Writers Conference was a sell-out! In partnership with talented short story writer, Daria Ludas (aka D.K. Ludas), their award-winning inspirational southern women's fiction/mystery series, called The Amazing Grace Trucking Company, is about three southern women who are also sisters. MERCIFUL BLESSINGS won the Royal Palm Literary Awards in 2014 for the Women's Fiction category, took a Bronze award in the FAPA awards, and an Honorable Mention in the Foreword Indies competition.
