About Darrell Nelson

Writer of dark, cinematic thrillers.

I’m a Midwest-born writer who grew up in Wisconsin, drawn early to stories about power, pressure, and the systems people trust until they stop working. Two years ago, I decided—quietly but seriously—to write a novel. I kept my head down, treated it like a job, and finished the book.

My work lives at the intersection of political thrillers and cinematic storytelling. I’m interested in how institutions protect themselves, how truth gets managed, and what happens to ordinary people when they push back against forces designed to erase them. I write character-first stories with a strong sense of momentum, built to feel visual on the page and adaptable to the screen.

I’m currently querying agents and developing additional projects for both novels and TV/film.

What I write

Political thrillers and screen-ready stories about power, pressure, and the cost of telling the truth.
