Featured Author
Each month I provide a short bio of one of the authors on the site. This month we will look at James L. Nelson. James L. Nelson was born and raised in Lewiston, Maine and graduated from UCLA with a degree in motion picture/television production. Finding that despite being in Southern California, it was a damp, drizzly November in his soul, Jim took the cure Melville recommended and decided to sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. For six years he worked on board traditional sailing ships before he turned thirty and realised it would be easier to write about sailing rather than actually doing it. His career as a writer began in 1994 and he has since written works of maritime fiction and history. He is the winner or the American Library Association/William Young Boyd Award and the Naval Order's Samuel Eliot Morison Award. Nelson has lectured all over the country and appeared on the Discovery Channel, History Channel and BookTV. He currently lives in Harpswell, Maine, with his former shipmate, now wife Lisa and their four children. He has written three historic naval fiction series and is also the writer of non-fiction books about early American naval activities.
