Nash S. Williamson, a professional journalist and amateur curler, lives on a boat off the coast of Rhode Island. He specializes in uncovering conspiracies among amateur athletes, and his work has often been cited in the footnotes of various investigative bodies charged with uncovering corruption among small-time athletes. In the past, Williamson has revealed the inability of archers, lawn bowlers, bocce players, dart throwers, magicians and miniature golfers to play by their own rules. "Curling Conspiracies" is his sixth book.
