L. L. Nelson is a former librarian, history buff, and author of the Lohikärran Chronicles and Tempus Viatores series. In short, she is a word nerd with a passion for fantasy, historical fiction, and romance. She’s been creating worlds and figuring out the ‘what ifs’ in her stories since she was old enough to read.

In college, she took all the creative writing classes she could to feed her need to write. This gave her enough credits to graduate with a minor in English and copious amounts of anxiety. It also introduced her to a variety of genres and their tropes that she now uses in her stories.

As a librarian, L. L. Nelson honed her research skills to a science. (A library science.) This has given her mad talent when it comes to finding obscure facts to use in her stories. (Like the fact that the Vikings used rap battles as a form of combat.)

When not dealing with her scripturient nature, L L Nelson is a mom, inventive cook, wannabe linguist, and dreams of being not only a ‘word traveler’ but a world traveler. Fortunately, she lives in Southern California with her husband and kids, so she can go to Disneyland once a year and pretend that she’s actually traveling around the world, even when she isn’t.
