Thomas Nelson

track author

Born into a rich heritage of Virginia patriots, my 4th great grandfather, Gov Thomas Nelson, Jr., Signer of the Declaration of Independence, and others active in Virginia history. I love history and wrote the History of the 318 Field Hospital to honor my grandfather, Maj (Dr) Hugh Thomas Nelson, Jr., who I never met, as well as honoring his men. I traveled to France to see the land his unit operated and participated in the Great War.

When Danna Staaf met an octopus at the age of ten, it changed her life. She set up a saltwater aquarium to keep eight-armed pets in her bedroom, learned to scuba dive off the coast closest to her home in Southern California, and eventually earned a PhD in the biology of squid babies. Currently working as a science writer, she also wields words in the world of fiction, and helps her husband raise two story-hungry children.
