A Collection of Short Contemporary Stories by James W. Nelson A Collection of Short Contemporary Stories by James W. Nelson April 10, 2012 $0.99 56726 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
James W. Nelson was born in a little farmhouse on the prairie in eastern North Dakota in 1944. Some doctors made house calls back in those days. He was living in that same house on the land originally homesteaded by his great grandfather, when a savage tornado hit in 1955 and destroyed everything. They rebuilt and his family remained on that land until the early 1970s when diversified farming began changing to industrial agribusiness (not necessarily a good thing.) James spent four years in the US Navy, worked many jobs and finally has settled on a few acres of land exactly two and one half miles straight west of the original farmstead, ironically likely the very spot where the 1955 tornado first struck, which sometimes gives him a spooky feeling. He has written 6 novels, 2 collections of short stories, his autobiography, and presently is working on his 7th novel plus a nonfiction of more memoirs and opinion.

I write a mix of books: novels, biography, short nonfiction. I set my novels in Toronto, my home for most of my life, a city of contradictions and ripe with conflict possibilities.

But my writing keeps me grounded, my photography takes me to other places. When I'm not writing, reading, taking photographs, I'm hunting for good coffee and sensational chocolate.

Having lived in Japan since 1988, Hugh Ashton was surprised recently to receive an e-mail message from an old college friend working in a London bank informing him that a metal deed box which had lain undisturbed in the banks vaults for nearly 100 years was due to be thrown out, since the bank was moving to new premises. Given his knowledge of Hugh's interest in Sherlock Holmes, the friend felt that the deed box, marked clearly on the outside with the name of Dr John Watson, Holmes's friend and biographer, could prove of interest. After various legal battles, Hugh obtained ownership of the box, which was shipped to his home in Kamakura, a little south of Tokyo. On opening the box, Hugh discovered a collection of tales describing the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson which had never previously been published. Three of them are given here, and more are expected as he continues to decipher Dr Watson's almost illegible writing.
