ⓘ About Ed Nelson
Then something wonderful happened. He lost his job and was put out of work for nearly eight months. In order to keep from going crazy he wrote. He posted his stories on this online site, and lo and behold people were reading them and said some nice things about them. Fast forward almost eight years and he’s writing for the fun of it while being retired. Much of what can be found in his stories is based on his life experiences. Give or take a lie or two here and there. The one fortunate thing in his career is that he got to travel around the whole world and has actually been to the locations he writes about. During his younger days spelunking, hot air ballooning, white water rafting, skydiving, target shooting, and other goofy stuff were on the agenda. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Cast in Time Books series, Ed Nelson has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
