Nancy Pellicer Dyer is of Minorcan descent. Her family is from St. Augustine, Florida, the nation's oldest city. She grew up hearing stories of the struggles of her ancestors from her father. Her desire to find the truth behind the folk tales culminated in her desire to share what she had learned in her first novel, The Minorcan Yoke. Nancy's working career in the communication industry has made it possible for her to be well traveled. She has lived, worked, and traveled extensively in the Mediterranean as well as the U.S.A. At present, Nancy and her husband live near Richmond, Virginia. She is working on a second novel that continues where the first novel, The Minorcan Yoke, leaves off.
