My pen is motivated by my spirit, my being, who I am.

My pen is motivated by my experiences those I have been forced to accept and those that have evolved into my accomplishments.

My pen is motivated by the touch of others, those who have given me a piece of themselves even when they thought it was just a nod of recognition.

My pen is motivated by a yearning for peace, the desire to fulfill what God has inspired me to do.

My pen is motivated by the decision to share my thoughts, my experiences, my writings, me…..with others.

My pen is who I am for that is why I Pen.”

I am Nanette Buchanan, a native of Newark, New Jersey. I am a proud mother, wife and grandmother. I am currently an employee of the State of New Jersey and look forward to retiring and writing full time. I began writing while attending Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Poetry, children stories and now novels are a part of my writing experience. My poems have been read publicly, sold as greeting cards, and as personalized gifts. After spinning my wheels, I have found that writing is not only my passion but my business. I Pen Designs was founded and I Pen Books, a subsidiary became my publishing company.

My novels have opened new avenues for my literary experience. Not only have I rekindled my love for writing but found purpose in promoting literacy and the performing arts through “The Author’s Den”. Through a collaboration of authors, poets, and performing artists it has become our mission to promote, and support literacy within our community.

I look forward to building a relationship with you. I am available for author’s chat and signings, a discussion with me and giveaways. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions. If you have an interest in purchasing copies of these exciting novels or e-book please visit the I Pen Books section. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, about booking arrangements, or networking opportunities feel free to contact me at ipendesigns@gmail.com.

I thank you in advance for supporting my dreams, giving me an opportunity to share my passion with you and giving life to I Pen Designs. I would like to give a special thanks to the reviewers, book clubs, and readers that have been with me since the start of this literary journey. You have all encouraged me in more ways than you’ll ever know. Don’t forget to leave your information in our Contact Sections. Periodically we send out e-blasts and would love to have you on our mailing list. Check out our event page for upcoming events, signings, and postings. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Truly,

Nanette M. Buchanan
