Nagata was born in San Diego and moved with her family to Oahu, Hawai'i when she was ten years old.[1] She earned a bachelor's degree in zoology from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa before moving to the island of Maui,[1] where she still lives with her family.[3]
Nagata began writing after graduating from university,[2] and published her first short story in 1987.[1] She now publishes under her independent imprint, Mythic Island Press, LLC., which publishes e-books and trade paperbacks.[2] She is perhaps most recognized for her Nanotech Succession series.
