Humor Writer of the Month: Nancy Crochiere

Nancy Crochiere’s comic debut novel, Graceland (HarperCollins, May 2023), about a mother-daughter-grandmother road trip to Memphis, was an Amazon bestseller and named a top summer read by Parade, Woman’s World and Deep South Magazines.

Her essays have appeared in The Boston GlobeWriter’s Digest and WBUR’s Cognoscenti. Prior to writing fiction, Nancy was a humor columnist for 13 years for newspapers in Massachusetts, where she collected her best-loved columns into The Mother Load.

With her children now grown, Nancy resides in Amesbury with her husband and a few houseplants that could use more attention. In her spare time, she acts as an extra in TV shows and feature films — anything to increase her odds of bumping into George Clooney.
