Nancy Lucas

About

Nancy Lucas grew up in the wild of Bamberg County, South Carolina, near Denmark. Contrary to popular belief, she was not raised by wolves. She was raised by petulant Angus cows and she is still wary of them. Have you ever tried to find black cows in the middle of the night in a strange forest? No, I didn’t think so.

 

Nancy moved to Charleston, South Carolina to attend college. She always suspected there were people like her there having fun, and she was right. Now she hates to leave the peninsula unless it’s by boat. However, she still often visits her parents on the farm.

 

She has been a cartoon contributor for Charleston Mercury since 2006. Scout is her favorite Springer Spaniel and she insists on writing silly stories about his capers.

Story Behind The Book

I grew up in Bamberg County, SC where the book is set in the beginning. I also live in Charleston, SC now, but lived in Richmond, VA for 5 years in the late 1990s. There really were young people who filed their teeth to look like vampire fangs and avoided all sunlight!

She's afflicted with sudden red blood cell loss and becomes anemic overnight. After several years of hospital visits for refills on hemoglobin, she decides to try an animal source for blood. It works so well, she finds herself offing a bully during a school bus wreck while she’s in middle school, the accident conveniently camouflaging his gruesome murder. I won’t say any more, but you can only imagine what happens when she goes to college and starts hanging out with vampire posers!</div> </div> </div> </div>
