About the Author

Scott Washburn has been a science fiction and fantasy reader since the time he could first read. He grew up in a house filled with Heinlein, Tolkien, Niven, Asimov, Clarke and Piper stories left lying around by his father and two older brothers. He is also an avid reader of military history as well as a long-time wargamer and reenactor. So it is not surprising that when he started writing, his stories would be influenced by all of those things. Classic themes and a strong military flavor are common in his work.

Scott is an architectural designer by profession and even this factors into his stories because he demands solid plots which will stand up on their own. Solid characters are also a must in his work because he strongly believes that all stories must ultimately be about people rather than about places or things.
