The Nancy Jane Moore Bookshelf
Nancy Jane Moore jumps around within the speculative fiction genre, varying both form and content. Her work ranges from straightforward science fiction to fantasy both traditional and urban to slipstream and varies as much in length as it does in subject matter.
Her collection, PS Showcase #2: Conscientious Inconsistencies, is available from PS Publishing and her novella, Changeling, is available from Aqueduct Press and also on Amazon.com. Her short fiction has appeared in a number of anthologies, including Imaginings, Polyphony 5, Future Washington, and Imagination Fully Dilated: Science Fiction. Nancy's stories have also been published in magazines ranging from Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet to Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, and in various online ventures, including Farrago's Wainscot.
Nancy has trained in martial arts for close to thirty years and holds a fourth-degree black belt in Aikido. After many years in Washington, D.C., she now lives in Austin where she reports on Texas developments for a national legal publisher. She is a member of SFWA and Broad Universe. She blogs on self defense issues at Taking Care of Ourselves and occasionally contributes to Ambling Along the Aqueduct.
"Moore’s style rises above a particular perspective and stands on its own as quality short fiction. ... As a collection, these short stories fit together nicely. While some
might prefer more cohesion among the genres, I thought the mix of
fantasy, speculative, dystopia, and/or SF worked rather well in this
showcase. Both the publisher and the author should be happy with the
results."
-- Lyndon Perry on The Fix short fiction review
"Nancy Jane Moore is a writer to watch, if her novella, Changeling,
is any indication. It's an eminently satisfying, sweetly unraveling
story centering on a wheelchair using woman who rolls through walls
into a
dimension her parents frequented when young[...]"

"Changeling is recommended to genre readers, regardless of their interest in the feminist sub genre of science fiction."
—William I. Lengeman III, Apex Digest, January 2007
