Nyhan was a reader before she was a writer, devouring everything she could get her hands on. Later, her obsession with reading evolved into an absolute need to write. After college, she wrote for national trade magazines, taught writing to college freshmen, and eventually found the guts to try fiction.
I'll Be Seeing You, her novel co-written with Suzanne Hayes, debuted from Harlequin Mira in June 2013. Their second book, Empire Girls, released on May 27, 2014.
Her solo work includes The Witch Collector, Parts I & II, paranormal thrillers for HarperTeen.
When she is not writing, she is knitting, baking, and doing all kinds of things her high school self would have found hilarious.

I suggested letters back and forth via email. We agreed on setting the letters in WWII, and then I sent off the first email, in character, and hoped for the best.
