Dale NelsonHi! I am a crime, thriller and science fiction writer. I grew up outside Tampa, Florida and attended the University of Florida, where I graduated from the College of Journalism and Communications (Go Gators!). After graduation, I commissioned in the .S. Air Force, serving as a logistics officer and war planner. After my military service, I worked in defense and tech before writing full time. I've had the opportunity to live abroad and see a large part of the world, thanks to my time in the military, and that's certainly informed my writing. I currently live in Washington, DC, with my wife and daughters. I'm a lifelong storyteller. I began writing at eight and never stopped. My school notebooks were indecipherable because I had as many story fragments, ideas, notes and bits of dialogue as I did whatever I was actually supposed to be taking notes on. I believe there is real power in stories. It can help us see and understand our world with a different perspective and experience things we might never see. But mostly, there's just nothing like a great story well told. Outside of writing, I'm passionate and loud about good books, good wine, music, travelling, snowboarding, college football and teaching my kids to go fast around corners. Read More Read Less
