Biographical Sketch
Klancy Clark De Nevers is a printer's daughter, who grew up proofreading, doing bindery work and numbering ballots in her father's print shop in Aberdeen, Washington. Four of her uncles were in the armed forces and she observed how closely her family followed the progress of World War II, which led to her enduring interest in the history of that war. Though she left home to attend Stanford University and then to accompany her husband to Michigan, California, and finally Salt Lake City, Utah, where they have lived for forty years, she has kept in touch with Aberdeen as hometown and core of her writing life. After a varied career in technical positions that allowed her to use her mathematical and computing skills, she retired to focus on writing. With Lucy Hart of Seattle, she edited The Cohassett Beach Chronicles: World War II in the Pacific Northwest, a book of Kathy Hogan's columns from the wartime pages of the Grays Harbor Post.
