# 1 NEW RELEASE in WESTERN & U.S. BIOGRAPHIES For Hard Back and Paper Back. I was born Nelson Harlin Conway Jr. in Las Vegas Nevada, the son and namesake of the man in my book, 'Las Vegas Inc.' Las Vegas was a very small town situated in the middle of a sweltering desert in the 1950s and 1960s where gambling was legal, the Mob was trying to build a skimming empire and where my father worked for and invested in the casino resorts that were being built all over the Las Vegas Strip and downtown. It was certainly a unique environment but, since I didn’t know any other, I took those experiences of my youth pretty much for granted.

Being the youngest of seven children in a blended family, I went to a wonderful small liberal arts college in Denver, Colorado called Loretto Heights. It was an outstanding educational experience where I studied choral arts and theater and spent the following 45 years teaching in public schools and community theater organizations both as a choral conductor and musical theater director. One of the highlights of my life was founding the Venue Theatre in 2013, a community theater in Conifer, Colorado that is dedicated to developing performance skills of students from elementary age through high school. Throughout it all, however, I have been a life-long writer, creating short science fiction stories, novellas and even a screenplay or two.

I am now retired to the gorgeous mountain community of Conifer outside Denver Colorado with my wife Sandy and numerous children and grandchildren who live in the Denver area. I am blessed to be able to take in a backyard view that extends South from Pike’s Peak through Staunton Park then north to Mount Blue Sky (once named Mount Evans) and ending at Long’s Peak. When not at home, I love to travel or camp with my family at any of the wonderful lakes in the Colorado Mountains. Life is good.
