Why Would You Write That?

Through Their Eyes with Nancy Collander

Nancy Collander’s lifetime with animals frames the way she sees the world. Dogs are her teachers, providing her a unique outlook on life and amplifying her wry sense of humor. A lifetime of dog adoption and rescue provided the framework for Nancy’s first book, Through Their Eyes; Reflections on joy, loss, and learning. Twenty-seven years on a small farm in Central Ohio inspired Short Notes from a Small Farm, an as yet unpublished series of short stories about a city girl’s life in the country. Nancy's short story, Foal Watch, placed first in the Westerville, Ohio, “Celebrate the Arts Writing Contest” in 2021. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Nancy’s creative writing spark was kindled at Ohio Dominican College where she earned her Bachelor of Arts. Nancy now resides in Michigan.
