We’re back with another one of our segments, Write State of Mind, where we interview authors about mindset, their processes, and their journey. This week we have USA Today Bestselling Author, Nancy Naigle! In this episode we discussed:

  • How mountain views inspire Nancy’s writing;
  • Nancy’s publishing journey (she had quite a few books before landing an agent);
  • When publishing doesn’t go as planned;
  • The importance of a relentless belief in your dreams;
  • How to respond when people think your dreams are “farfetched”;
  • Keeping your special sauce and staying true to you when receiving criticism;
  • Rethinking reviews;
  • Trusting shifts in your career;
  • Fear even when you have a successful career;
  • Balancing projects in various stages;
  • Writing for Hallmark.
  • USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle whips up small-town love stories with a dash of suspense and a whole lot of heart. She began her contemporary romance series, Adams Grove, while juggling a successful career as an SVP for Bank of America and life on a seventy-six-acre goat farm. Now enjoying an early retirement from the financial industry, she devotes her time to writing, antiquing, cooking, trail riding on her Palomino, and the occasional spa day with friends.

    Nancy writes romance and women's fiction for Montlake Romance and St. Martin's Press and enjoys the diversity of adding mysteries to her list of accomplishments through Crossroads Publishing House. She's also working on several projects with Hallmark. Watch for Nancy's novels, Christmas Joy, Christmas in Evergreen and Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa on Hallmark Channel, and Hope at Christmas, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. New in 2020, The Secret Ingredient made its Hallmark Channel debut, and stay tuned for news about the movie based on Sand Dollar Cove.

    Nancy hangs out on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and her website. Keep up with Nancy and all her latest news via her newsletter.
