Nancy shares some of her favorite encounters with the famous and not-yet-famous.

A dedicated Janeite since age 14, Nancy is a member of JASNA, the Jane Austen Society of North America. She had a ball at the JASNA conference in Vancouver in 2007. The gorgeous dress Nancy is wearing belongs to author and vintage clothing fashionista Shelley Bates.

Wendy Roberts (author of Dating Can Be Deadly), Debbie Macomber (romance and women's fiction author who regularly makes all the bestseller lists), and Nancy, at an all-day workshop by Debbie for the Romance Writers of America.

Nancy counts herself lucky to have met one of Hollywood's hottest hunks. Here she describes her close encounter of the cutie kind:

"I got the chance to meet TV hunk Chris Noth who plays Mr. Big at a Sex and the City windup party. Of course, I downed a Cosmopolitan or two and said farewell to Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte. Sigh. I'm going to miss my weekly TV fix.

Here's my insider tip on Chris Noth—he's a big Beatles fan and his last name is pronounced to rhyme with 'both'. There you go.

Don't say you never learn anything worthwhile on my website..."

Nancy's friend Tiana, always a good sport, shows off her copy of Bad Boys Down Under.

One of Nancy's early mentors was Regency author Elizabeth Fairchild. Nancy describes her encounter with her mentor:

"What a charming and gracious woman she is. I was so happy to meet her in person at the RT Convention."

Nancy was thrilled to receive Romantic Times' award for Best Harlequin Blaze of 2002 for Breathless, an October 2002 release.

Here is Nancy with "Dream" in New York at Harlequin's Black and White Ball at the Waldorf. Dream hosts Nancy's Warren at eHarlequin.
