V S Nelson writes unconventional middle grade and young adult fantasy, science fiction and supernatural stories for readers who enjoy something a little strange.

His first story was The Keeper of Portals, a middle grade fantasy/sci-fi with plenty of portal jumping and time slipping. His second story, The Archivist, is a young adult dark fantasy all about death and what happens after. His most recent story is The Girl Who Sold Time, a middle grade science fiction adventure about friendship, discovery and finding your place in the universe.

V S Nelson loves big ideas, fantastical concepts and stories that unsettle the reader and set them thinking about something new.

V S Nelson lives in Winchester with his wife, two children and two cats. Whe

OK. Could have been longer with greater complexity. Both the plot and characters were very simple.

Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy
"unfortunately i didn’t like this, which is a shame as i enjoyed the audiobook of ‘i’m glad my mom died’.

it’s repetitive and predictable, with juvenile writing that quickly becomes grating. it says nothing new, offering no nuance nor genuine introspe" Read more of this review »

This is not a good book.
While I loved McCurdy's autobiography, it's clear that this book was published not because it is a good story, but because the author is a celebrity.
I have no issue with the sex scenes or the age-difference portrayed in the
