    Chris Nelson

    Chris Nelson (Christopher Richard Nelson) in full is now the proud author of eleven published/marketed books. He has another one complete and ready to go about people helping people, side by side, through love and life, *(with an assist from our canine friends). It is a wide ranging book, with quotable quotes, poetic portraits of the symphony family, Rock Beautiful Musical Maidens Singing their Hearts Out (from Carly Simon, To Sade, to Anne Muray, to Barbara Streisand to Katy Perry) (twelve) with two chapters about following the wagging tails of our canine friends to a better, less judgmental, more accepting and just plain friendlier world.
