K.R.NILSEN HOME    THE NOVEL    NONFICTION    AUTHOR    BLOG    ARTWORKS

Long-time Granite State resident K.R.Nilsen has been typing words into cyberspace it seems at times, since the sun's nuclear furnace caught fire. Nilsen delights in the complexity and plasticity of the English language and the challenge of launching ideas into the free-wheeling marketplace. 

 

Former journalist and periodicals editor, ex-corporate shrew in the natural foods industry, a sometimes animated public speaker, the winner of the coveted Granite State Legacy Award in 2015 for the development of the 170-mile Cohos Trail, and present day controlled-environment organic gardener growing food all year round in New England, Nilsen is now retired and devotes a good deal of time to nonprofit outdoor recreation organizations. 

 

Nilsen is well known in hiking circles in New England as a hiking trail and infrastructure designer and long-distance trail builder. He's a sustainable society advocate, promoting self-sufficient living, self-reliance, intentional communities, and local power (political, energy, and otherwise). He's a friend of large forested tracts in North America.

 

The author maintains a studio at his 1799 traditional cape home on old pasture in rural New Hampshire, where he writes, paints, plays guitar, and gardens as if the supermarkets will run out of produce.
