May updates

Scott | May 8, 2009

A nice review came through from the Associated Content website:
“Skillfully blends history, suspense and witchcraft and stitches it together with delicate threads and love and romance to create a dazzling and compelling fabric . . . when I finished it I was sad it was over, but also glad to have read something so amazing.”  [...]

A Trio of Horrors

Scott | April 14, 2009

Had a very enjoyable time signing books in the Carolina Lowcountry last week.  It was fun to see King of Nod show up on the “Local Interest” shelves.  Hard to tell what was more responsible for the great draw - the local thing or Bobby Dawson’s exceptional cover art.  Either way, the books were flying off the [...]

Catching up

Scott | March 16, 2009

Sorry, it’s been a while.
I ran the Ceaser Rodney half-marathon yesterday, and boy are my legs tired.  This is a 13.1 mile loop through the city of Wilmington.  I used to be a regular at the event, but it’s been about 5 years since my last Ceaser Rodney.  I won’t tell you my time, but [...]

Early Wake Up Call

Scott | February 19, 2009

Had a nice intertview with Paul Weagraff at WILM, Delaware’s most popular news radio station (1450 AM).  The interview will air this weekend on Saturday at 5:30 am and on Sunday at 6:00 am.  I’ll be asleep, but maybe you can set your alarm early to catch it.  By next week, the interview will be [...]

Coming Home to Sweetpatch Island

Scott | February 9, 2009

Just confirmed we’ll be in Charleston, South Carolina on April 8th for a book signing at the Waldenbooks in the Charleston Place hotel.  Charleston is a beautiful city at the epicenter of the Low Country and a mere stone’s throw from fictional Sweetpatch Island, home to Boo Taylor, Gussie Dutton, Laylee Colbriar, the Beast and [...]

Front Street Reviews

Scott | January 15, 2009

Came across a great review today by Araminta Matthews from Front Street Reviews.  This one is especially gratifying because clearly Ms. Matthews was prepared to hate the book.  That changed when she started reading.  I’ll let you read the review to see what she has to say - here’s the link:  http://www.frontstreetreviews.com/King%20of%20Nod.html.  (If you have trouble [...]

Suspense Magazine

Scott | January 13, 2009

Welcome to January.  College football season is over, the pro season is wrapping up, the holidays are behind us and the days are dark and cold.  Bleak.  But . . . we’ve passed the solstice and the days are already growing longer.  Everything gets brighter from here.
My Christmas present this year was a double-bladed axe.  This was [...]

A new review and some updates

Scott | December 30, 2008

Just received another nice review for King of Nod, this one from Sandie Kirkland at Round Table Reviews.  Sandie says, “this book is highly recommended.”  Here’s the link; we’ve also updated the REVIEWS page of the site:

I traded emails this week with John Raab at Suspense Magazine.  John gave King of Nod a strong review [...]

Happy Holidays

Scott | December 23, 2008

Hello, and happy holidays.
I was happy to have shared emails with one of my favorite authors this week, Mr. Peter Straub. Peter has written a number of best sellers, including Ghost Story, a novel that became a successful film. Peter writes a lot of very scary stuff. His work is also great literature. If you’re [...]
