Scott Boyer began his journey as an author in 2008, when he became fascinated with the idea of blending young adult fantasy with spiritual fiction. This exploration led to his debut novel, Bobby Ether and the Jade Academy, which won the 2020 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Silver Medal for Fiction. Scott graduated from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley in 1996. Raised in Santa Monica, CA, he now lives in the South Bay area.
