D-L Nelson

D-LNelson is an American-born Swiss writer who revels in life, personal relationships, history and modernsocial issues and weaves them together in richly detailed novels and short stories. She lives in Geneva,Switzerland and Argelès-sur-mer, France.

Nelson's writing has been called "engaging ... fun to read ... richly textured ... suspenseful ... with action that moves at a fast clip." Her novels have been called "a Hitchcockian nail-biter," "an offbeat alternative to conventional crime dramas," and compared to Fanny Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes and Iris Rainer Dart's Beaches.

Nelson's Chickpea Lover won 1st Place in the Florida First Coast Literary Festival. She also won a prize in the annual Hemingway literary competition - portions of the manuscript are now part of Murder in Paris.
