Mystery

A federal agent whose assignments have taken him all over the world, but a badge and gun have never replaced his passion for books and writing mysteries.

J. Todd Scott was born in rural Kentucky and attended college and law school in Virginia, where he set aside an early ambition to write to pursue a career as a federal agent. His assignments have taken him all over the U.S and the world, but a badge and gun never replaced his passion for books and writing. He now resides in the American Southwest, and when he’s not hunting down very bad men, he’s hard at work on his next book.

Advice to new and aspiring authors:
