edit data

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.

The Girl Who Sold Time - NetGalley

My next book, The Girl Who Sold Time, is now available for review on NetGalley .

A middle grade science fiction novel about friendship and discovery.

This book has really taken it out of me; it's been a constant fight to get everything completed on time. But we're nearly there with it. The ebook is finished, the files for the paperback are with the printers and the audiobook mastering is 40% comple Read more of this blog post »

V.S.’s Quotes

“She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.”
