|
Background
Information
|
|
E.J. Scott has sailed and traveled extensively on 6 continents. His work is influenced by writers such as Jules Verne, P.G. Wodehouse, Arthur Conan Doyle, Douglas Adams, Douglas Smith and Patrick McGrath.
What motivated Scott to become a writer: "Everywhere I've traveled, I've met fascinating and eccentric characters. I wanted to capture the unique aspects I had encountered.
What would happen if two or more of these aspects existed in one person and that person were to meet their ultimate nemesis? How would they react? When would they despair and how would they triumph?
I'll keep going until I run out of questions...but that shouldn't be any time soon."
E.J. Scott has been a member of Authorsden since June 2006.
