Portrait of Nathan Edmondson

Nathan Edmondson is a writer, consultant, and conservationist, and a native of Augusta, Georgia. His hit comics and other work draw on unusual, first-hand experience across a range of fields — a background that informs both the stories he tells and the advisory work he takes on.

He built his early reputation on creator-owned series at Image Comics, including Who Is Jake Ellis?, Olympus, The Light, and The Activity. He went on to write Grifter for DC and Ultimate Iron Man for Marvel, and is best known for his acclaimed runs on Marvel's The Punisher and Black Widow. He has also written for video games, including Splinter Cell: Echoes for Ubisoft.

Today his work centers on writing, producing for film and television, and security consulting. He also founded and continues to support Eco Defense Group, the non-profit working to protect African wildlife. He lives currently outside Park City, Utah.

The Master

A detective thriller set against the greatest tournament in golf, played as much in the mind as on the course.

If you've ever been to Augusta — or ever hoped to go — this book is an exciting must-read. A drive right to the green. — Travis Miller, Founder of PGA Memes and Five9Media
