Welcome to Daniel Nelson's Writing Blog

I’m Daniel Nelson, an inventor and science-fiction author drawn to stories where technology, ambition, and human choices collide in ways that can change the fate of the world. Here I share the ideas behind my books—including Moving Mountains—along with insights into the science, storytelling, and imagination that shape them. This space is where I talk openly about the writing process, the inspirations behind my characters and plots, and the fascinating possibilities that emerge when real science meets speculative fiction.

My first novel is Titled Moving Mountains. It’s a speculative fiction thriller that will keep you turning pages. If you loved books like The Martian, Prey, or Cold Storage, then this may be just for you.

Corporate greed gambles with a trillion-dollar asteroid.

A CIA sabotage meant to stop it instead turns it into a threat to Earth.

Now one astronaut must undo the damage and save humanity.
