Colin Nelson

Colin T. Nelson grew up in a small town in Southern Minnesota. He has worked as both a prosecutor and public defender for over 30 years where he's seen cases that could never be used on reality TV--they're too real; no one would believe them! His books are "page turners" and he wants to teach his readers something new in every story. His latest book is "The Inca Code," which is the second in the Pete Chandler series. In this book, he chases criminals to Machu Picchu. In the first story, "Up Like Thunder," Pete goes to the closed and exotic country of Myanmar in SE Asia as he searches for a missing woman. In "Flashover," you'll meet Zehra, a young prosecuting lawyer who gets into more danger than any other lawyer. Read about her in Colin's previous books, "Fallout" (Nominated for the Minnesota Book Awards) and "Reprisal." Or check out, "The Amygdala Hijack." Defense lawyer, Ted Rohrbacher takes on an impossible cases---and it almost kills him in the process. Colin's also written a financial handbook called, "When Can I Tell My Boss, I Quit!" When not writing you'll find him playing a tenor sax in a jazz group called, "BlueMood" and the music of Bob Dylan with a rock band.
