C. E. NELSON
Charles Edward Nelson was born on Thanksgiving Day in Minneapolis. Growing up, he lived in Houston, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia before his famly returned to the Minneapolis area when he was young. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in mathematics.
After working at morketing positions in Minneapolis, Chuck was hired by Al and Ron Lindner, founders of In-Fisherman. Chuck was struck with the fishing bug at an early age (thanks to his father), so to be hired by the ‘World’s Foremost Expert on Freshwater Fishing’ was something he had only dreamed of. He moved from Minneapolis to the small town of Brainerd in northern Minnesota. Most days found him in the office working on marketing, but he also spent nights and weekends fishing, as well as making many excursions to the far reaches of Canada fishing with some of the best anglers in the country. And then, In-Fisherman was sold to an investment company who never did understand the business, so Chuck accepted a position as the publisher of FLW Outdoors in Kentucky. But this involved a lot of time away from home and family and the owners of In-Fisherman wanted him back, so he returned to Minnesota.
All through his life. Chuck had filled notebooks with stories he’d write in his spare time, only to have life get in the way, the stories discarded. He tried consulting after leaving In-Fisherman, and a couple of other things, but finally decided that he needed to stop writing stories to be abandoned, and actually give writing a try.
His children’s stories, Jingle Bells and Bicycle Betty, came first, then it was time for something completely different. His wife would like him to try writing some more children’s tales. We’ll see.
The Trask Brothers series follow the exploits of Dave and Don Trask, identical twin brothers in law enforcement, as they chase down killers across Minnesota. Like Chuck, the brothers love to fish, and he tries to throw in a few fishing tidbits in each book.
The Edge of Winter is the first solo book for Danny Carlisle, an agent who has previously appeared in a few of the Trask Brother's books. Danny is headstrong and independent, traits that seem to get her in serious trouble.
Doc Hunter is a former college football star who would like to become a professional golfer. His problem is that his boss wants him to be catching killers, something Doc is very good at.
