Nancy Perpall is a former nurse and attorney turned fiction writer. As an attorney, her area of practice was exclusively Family Law, which led her to realize that everyone feels the same level of despair when they go through a divorce or end an intimate relationship. She also learned that most people would rather chew cut glass than read relationship advice presented through research and statistics. Her debut novel, "Around Which All Things Bend", was published in the spring of 2022 by Archway (Simon & Schuster). She hopes her novels will educate, entertain, and inspire readers to discover the love waiting for them on the other side. Nancy is married to psychologist Dr. David Mulligan, and they live in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.
