edit data

Nancy Wikarski is a fugitive from academia. After earning her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, she worked in corporate America for two decades before becoming a historical mystery author. Her books highlight unknown aspects of women’s history and contain elements of magical realism. In her Arkana series, she foregrounds the latest archaeological discoveries about prepatriarchal cultures around the planet and weaves these facts into fictional artifact hunts. Her Gilded Age Chicago books depict the real issues of first-wave feminism while following the fictional adventures of two amateur sleuths. Both her series have been award-nominated and have ranked on Amazon’s bestseller lists.

Quotes by N.S. Wikarski (?)

“That kind of leader usually manages to show up whenever there’s a culture in crisis. People get scared stupid, and they listen to anybody who sounds like he has a plan to get them out of the jam they’re in.”
― N.S. Wikarski, The Mountain Mother Cipher
