Scott is a native South Dakotan who relocated to Missouri recently. He finally realized there were other locales that didn't have six months of winter, -30 degree temps, and the fishing was still good! A self professed "old guy", he relies on his personal journey of life's experiences to ground his writing. His first love is history and writing well researched historical fiction. Cerro Gordo is the first in the Missourian series and his debut ebook novel.
However, his work is not limited historical fiction. Twenty five years teaching in a small community college resulted in a textbook entiled "Vocatio: Discovering Your Personal College", a spiritual (not religious) approach to career exploration. The book sold over 5,000 copies in paperback. Now out of print and having discovered the wonderful world of epublishing and Smashwords, he will be releasing it here this fall.
He is a member of the Historical Novel Society and the Missouri Writers Guild. He is also a sometime entertainer and "rubber chicken" banquet speaker. His journey includes performing folk music in Chicago's old Old Town in the 60's, running an old 19th century hotel in Telluride,CO (before the ski area), raising hogs (not very well), and is a jam and jelly maker for the local farmer's market. He is married to a very patient wife, Katie, who is a great editor and special ed teacher (something I couldn't do for five minutes), hers and mine consist of six great kids (all grown and not asking for "loans") and a scruffy cat that wandered in named Casper.
He holds a B.A. from Colorado State University in history, and M.S. in mental health counseling from South Dakota State University, and is ABD in the School of Education at Colorado State University.view less
