Born in Houston, Texas into the temporary care of a bevy of nuns before being delivered to his adopted parents, Scott discovered creative writing at a very young age when asked to write a newspaper from another planet. This exercise awakened a seemingly endless drive, and now, many short stories, poems, plays, and novels (both finished and unfinished) later, his first book, "Dance of the Butterfly", has been published.
The seeds for this tale began with dreams, as many often do, before being fine-tuned with a whimsical notion and the very serious input of a dear friend.
Before long, the story took on a life of its own and has now become the first book in a planned series.
Having lived his whole life in the same state, Scott attended the University of Texas at Austin, achieving a degree in philosophy before returning to the Houston area to be closer to family and friends.
During this time, he wrote more and even branched out into directing and performance art, though creative writing remains his love.
A modern dark urban fantasy, telling of two powerful families who uphold
a secret duty to protect humanity from a threat it doesn’t know exists.
Though sharing a common enemy, the two families form a long-standing
rivalry due to their methods and ultimate goals. Forces are coalescing
in a prominent Central European city- criminal sex-trafficking, a serial
murderer with a savage bent, and other, less tangible influences.
Within a prestigious, private university, Lilja, a young librarian
charged with protecting a very special book, finds herself suddenly
ensconced in this dark, strange world. Originally from Finland, she has
her own reason for why she left her home, but she finds the city to be
anything but a haven from dangers and secrets. Book One in a planned
series.

The tale continues in Sword of the Butterfly, book two of the series, as
Lilja and Skothiam continue to fight demons within and without. The
infernal forces make a grand play, hoping to stab the world in its very
heart. Casualties mount as further tensions rise in the City,
threatening the vigilante with a loss of freedom and life. Children
become victims of a madman’s design while the hunt is on for a powerful
creature wreaking havoc across parts of the U.S. Lilja begins to
question herself and her place in Skothiam’s life even as the very
treasure they must protect comes under danger.
