My fellow writers
Ed Nelson
I have always wanted to be an author. I had my first rejection slip in about 1965. Wish I had saved it. For many years the only writing I did was technical as pesky things like three children, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren came along.
My technical writing was in the field of quality in several different journals. I worked in the field of quality for over fifty years, starting as a line inspector and ending up as a Vice-President of Quality and elected a Fellow of the American Society for Quality.
Then a wonderful thing happened. I lost my job and was out of work for almost eight months. To keep from going crazy I wrote. I posted my stories on an online site, and lo and behold people read them and said nice things. Fast forward about eight years and I am retired and writing for the fun of it.
A lot of what is in my stories is based on my life experiences, gasp! Give or take a lie or two that is. The one fortunate thing in my career is that I got to travel worldwide and have been to most of the locations I write about.
In my younger days, I tried hot air ballooning, sky diving, white water rafting, spelunking, and target shooting. I have collected stamps, drove in road rallies, lowly rated by the US Chess federation. I built a Kentucky long rifle and a dueling pistol. I am a licensed HAM radio operator. My hobby is having hobbies.
My true passion is reading. Trapped in a hotel room I would read the telephone book. The TV would not be turned on. I have averaged 200 books a year for the last sixty years. I knew those long flights were good for something.
BTW I was born in the middle of an air raid in England during World War II, the house next door was destroyed and our windows were blown out. That is probably the most interesting thing I have been involved with. Mum never forgave me. Happily married for 56 years I hope my wife doesn’t catch on to what a goof I am.

A True Story
Eleven-year-old Ollie Spencer and his family were pioneer settlers outside of Cincinnati in 1792. While on an outing to the fort at Cincinnati, Ollie missed his ride home. Making his own return plans, he fell in with strangers boating on the Ohio River. Two Shawnee warriors attacked the party, killing and wounding the strangers, and seized Olly. They took him deep into the Black Swamp in northern Ohio and gave him as a gift to their mother. Ollie feared and respected the old priestess named Coohcoochee, who adopted him and taught him native ways. He witnessed her divination, learned dancing ceremonies and to speak Shawnee, and in a final triumph, learned to hunt. Along the way he met many famous people including Blue Jacket, Simon Girty, and Lt. Governor Simcoe of Upper Canada. Ollie gave up hope of ever returning home. In the meantime, his father had been a Revolutionary War hero, and diplomatic wheels were turning. Ollie’s true story is given context with the events of the time.
