JUST RELEASED
NANCY O'BERRY
AUTHOR
Nancy O’Berry has been a storyteller ever since she could form words.
A daydreamer, her teachers often wished they could put a tether on her
to keep her from following her wandering star.
     A native of the Tidewater area, Mrs. O’Berry grew up next to the
Indian River in Virginia Beach and moved to Suffolk when her love
for horses came into conflict with her families’ half acre home off
Ballylynn Road.  
“Growing up on the water and listening to my Grandfather, who was
captain of the Seaboard in the Norfolk area, gave me a delicious feel for
sea tales,” she explains. “So it was only natural that when our
Chesapeake Romance Writers threw out the idea of doing Mermaid
tales I would write one.”  What she did not have at first was the
courage to show it to anyone else in the writer’s group.
“Like all new writers, you think your work is not good enough. Thank
heavens I had a good mentor who threatened to put her foot where it
didn’t belong,” she states. “I took her advice and wrote about things I
knew, remembered, and heard at family reunions. It was a blast putting
a romantic spin on a not so typical story. Perhaps the hardest thing was
having faith in myself to pull it off.”
When asked who would be interested in her tale, she responded,
Enchanted is a love story, first and foremost. I think all people are
romantics at heart and want to see girl meet guy and fall in love. The
fact that my heroine must do it before the summer solstice puts a bit of
pressure on Serena, King Neptune’s daughter if she is to escape her fate
of being imprisoned in one of those delightful statues along the
waterfront.”

Mrs. O’Berry is a member of Romance Writers of America and
President of Chesapeake Romance Writers based at the Russell
Memorial Library in Chesapeake.  Readers are invited to email Nancy
