S.E. Nelson

S.E. Nelson is a seasoned business writer and corporate communications executive whose career has unfolded in the high‑pressure corridors where global industries, crisis strategy, and corporate power intersect. In 2004, she founded Hi‑Tex Public Relations, advising major players in petroleum, petrochemicals, pipelines, and pharmaceuticals. She’s been on the front lines of corporate crises, shaped safety and emergency‑response programs, and coached senior leaders through media scrutiny, seismic organizational shifts, and the fast‑moving world of global digital strategy.

Raised in an oil‑industry family, S.E.’s life has spanned continents and cultures — from Libya’s desert edge to London’s financial heart, Stavanger’s North Sea frontier to Paris, Brussels, The Hague, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and ultimately Houston, the “energy capital of the world,” where she spent 25 years navigating the pulse of international business. Today she divides her time between Naples, Florida, and Montmorillon, France, a historic village known as a “city of writing and writing crafts.” A devoted poodle and pet lover, she shares her home with two poodles and two cats — including the real‑life inspiration for the feline in The Crescent Deception.
