Scott was drafted by the Detroit Tigers back in 1966. Out of the 700 players drafted that year, Scott was 34th. He turned down their offer so that he could attend Ohio University to pursue his real dream of becoming a writer. During his four years at Ohio University, Scott played baseball for the Ohio University Bobcats. In his senior year, they were rated in the top five teams in the nation and went on to the college world series. He was born and raised in La Rue, Ohio, a small village nestled in the farmlands of mid Ohio. It was there that he learned to appreciate small town life and country living. After graduating from Ohio University in 1970 with a degree in English Literature, he entered the field of retail management and for the next 30 years managed many stores in the Detroit, Michigan area. In 1996 with a lifelong dream of being a writer, he started writing short stories. Within the next two years, he had four short stories published. After hearing the advice of a neighbor, Scott decided to write a novel. Since then, he has enjoyed having 15 novels published. Scott and his wife, Deb, now live in Mansfield, Ohio. Their children, Sara, Angela, Michael, and Matt live in the Detroit area.
