A few words about me

After a rewarding career writing about science, medicine and healthful living (under the byline Nancy Ross-Flanigan), I'm now focusing on memoir and creative nonfiction.

My memoir, Mango Rash: Survival Lessons in the Land of Frangipani and Fanta, is finished (for now), and I'm seeking representation. Stay tuned for updates.
