Having read Nash's earlier book, The Man in the Pines, I can count on his writing to make me think.

In Wells' Time was named a MN Book Award finalist for short fiction in 2025, and I'm so thrilled for the author who is a friend of mine and in the same writers critique group. The book is very deserving of its praise and dives deep into the theme of life's meaning, legacy, and the impermanence of things. Despite it's large topics, the story is character-driven and a great selection for book clubs

This was our La Crescent Community Read for the month of April and we got to welcome local author, David Nash, to our book discussion!

The overwhelming comments that came back from patrons (those who attended the book club and those who couldn't make it but wanted to share their thoughts) was how much they loved the book and how it made them think and really get into the story.

Readers enjoyed hearing David's behind the scenes stories about what inspired the book, what scenes didn't make the cut

What if you could stop time so you could get extra tasks done that you need to finish? What would be the harm? Would there be a cost? These questions are what Wells must answer when he realizes he can stop time.
I enjoyed reading this book. Well written and engaging.
