Nancy Farmer: Hello. My name is Nancy Farmer. It's a pretty common name, and there are several other Nancy Farmers out there. I like to look for them on the internet. I've found a sheriff in Canada, a politician in Missouri, an artist in England, and once I found a mugshot of a woman caught shoplifting.

I was named after my grandmother. Her name was Nanny, and my parents thought I would be called Nanny Goat at school, so they changed it to Nancy.
