The son of a Norwegian immigrant, Jack Nelson grew up in Bellflower, California. However, during college he became a heartfelt Utahn after discovering the wild places of that lonely land. As a youth, he danced the Squaw Dance with Navajos on the Reservation at the prodding of his cousins who ran the Dennehotso Trading Post.
A former reporter, Nelson taught journalism at California State/Humbold, the University of Utah, and then settled in to teach writing for 25 years at Brigham Young University. With a master’s degree in creative writing from the University of Utah, he has published four other novels with New York publishers.
As an outdoor writer, Nelson served for 13 years as Utah editor of Western Outdoors Magazine, along with writing an outdoor column for a local newspaper. He lives with his wife Patrice in Provo, Utah.
