I LOVE LIFE and have a true passion for exploring all it has to offer.

I also love a good challenge and reaching my goals in my work and in life is what I’m always striving for. Accomplishment takes root through happiness & contentment, passion & perseverance, and faith & integrity. I lift my head up high and thank God for the opportunities to pursue my purpose.

“A huge thank you to all who supported me initially and through the years along my journey! My mother always told me to go after my dream with my love for writing. She went to be with the Lord 5 years before my first book was published. My father loved supporting me on my path to becoming an author and during the ride. He went to be with the Lord after my second book was published. My sister and her son are constant encouragers. My daughters are the guiding lights behind my success and my fiance makes it all so much fun!”
Thank you, too, to my cousin Douglas for promoting my books to his church in Oneida, NY: St. Paul’s United Methodist.H. Erin Nelson, Author
