About the Author
Nelson McKeeby is a native of Iowa, born near Spirit Lake to a Navy Officer and his teacher wife. Placed in classes for slow learners at a young age, he was never able to make education work and left school by age sixteen. He immediately landed a job as one of the countries youngest live-air television directors and professional television writers, a career he has maintained since then. Nelson is neurodiverse with both autism and severe epilepsy. A long time hitch hiker who often uses his experiences in his writing, he has also served with the Department of Justice and as a deputy sheriff. Nelson is known for non-fiction writing about insider politics, law enforcement, the entertainment industry, and the Quaker faith.
