Curtis L. Nelson has a degree in Sociology from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, and is a graduate of Brown Institute of Broadcasting in Minneapolis. He is the author of Hunters in the Shallows: A History of the PT Boat, published by Batsford Brassey (now Potomac Books) in 1998. Mr. Nelson is also a two-time contributor to Naval History magazine on PT-boat-related topics. He is a multi-faceted writer, having written several feature-length and short screenplays in diverse genres, including romantic comedy, Sci-Fi, fantasy and war. He published his first comic e-novel, Creepers, in October 2013, part of his ongoing quest to become a full-time fiction and nonfiction author and screenwriter.
Mr. Nelson works as a copy editor for a Minneapolis-area ad agency. He lives in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, with his wife and two daughters. When not writing, his interests include sailing, military and naval history, competitive swimming and--on occasion--respectfully poking fun at Wisconsinites.
