Thank you for visiting this site. Nelson is an award-winning author who writes African action-adventure stories on topics like: friendship, LRA, war, espionage, colonialism, corruption and human-trafficking. Her first novel Nightmare Along the River Nile is set in Uganda and Sudan. It is about a student who was abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and sold into slavery. The story was inspired by actual events that happened to many young people in Northern Uganda in the 1990s. Nightmare Along the River Nile has been listed among the top books on slavery. Nelson's second novel The Helpers is an action-packed international tale of espionage and corruption, which is set in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Europe and United States. Although the story is fictitious, much of its background was inspired by historical events that happened during colonial times. The sequel to The Helpers is still in development. Since both books tackle difficult subjects, we don't recommend them for young readers.
