Teresa E. Nelson

Teresa E. Nelson is a pastor, free lance speaker, teacher and auctioneer. A wide variety of life experiences full of fun, creative and interesting people prepared her to pen fictional characters who readers would swear they've met, probably in a small town somewhere. Her life in rural Minnesota along with her family (four children, their spouses, and nine grandchildren) is enhanced by the wildlife roaming their farm fields. Teresa finds inspiration in prayer, the beauty of creation, laughter, friends, and more, all topped-off with a good cup of coffee. Hunting, fishing, and cooking for loved ones puts a smile on her face. To hop on an airplane and fly to new locations helps satisfy her curiosity for sights unseen. For something different to do, she squeezes out a tune on her accordion from time to time, and whether an audience finds it enjoyable is up for debate. Her first book, "Tender Mercies for Tough Moments", is aimed to bring faith to people living in fearful situations.
