About the Author

Nancy G. West was a business major who returned to grad school to study English literature and discovered that writing stories was a lot more fun than accounting.

Her newest book, RISKY PURSUIT, is a YA/adult crossover thriller. On Goodreads, it ranks #1 Best YA Books That Anyone Would Enjoy - #1 YA Summer Thriller - #1 Best YA Original Story. It's the book Nancy absolutely had to write. Here's a summary:

High school senior Decker Savage, convinced the man with his mother is key to the disintegration of his family, follows him through dark streets, to the wrong side of the law, into unexpected relationships, and into danger that tests his courage and threatens everyone he loves. With themes of loss, grief, love, courage, forgiveness, reconciliation, and redemption, this Adult/YA crossover thriller has characters who linger long after the book is closed.

Editorial Reviews

A creative plot, tension that makes it hard to put down and main characters whose histories suggest they could fill a series. I love this book! _Rollo K. Newsom Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Folklore, Texas State University and Editor of Lone Star Sleuths

Powerful characterization, plot twists, and a feisty believable protagonist.

_Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review

Aggie Mundeen's wry observations on life, death, and the struggle to whip mind and body into shape make this a delightful read. Joining a health club has never been so dangerous...or so amusing.

_Karen McCullough, author of A Question of Fire

Intriguing characters that point to romance, an engrossing plot, compelling puzzle and well-disguised clues--a fun read. _L. C. Hayden, Award Winning Author of the Harry Bronson Mystery series

West's sense of humor is fantastic...with lines that made me laugh out loud. Her style is wonderfully entertaining._Elizabeth Hilborn, Reviewer, Houston, Texas
