Born and raised in a rural town in New Jersey, Erndell Scott spent his childhood ‘imagining it’ as he ran around in the woods, built forts, played cowboys and Indians and re-lived episodes of the Saturday morning World War II saga, 'Combat!'
Despite studying in college to be in the forestry profession, when career choice time was upon him, Erndell found himself drawn to the bigger, faster, more dynamic world of advertising. He spent years as a copywriter and art director – ‘imagining it’ as he traveled to captivating places, met interesting people and crafted work that in many cases redefined culture.
Erndell, tired of the fast-paced lifestyle of advertising, found himself seeking an art form where he could create his own work. He turned to fiction writing and hasn’t looked back. Today, he uses his imagination to pen experiential work, such as his breakout novel 'Paper Boats.'
Alternating his time between his rural farm in Indiana and his family home in Vermont, Erndell welcomes the quiet respite and calm of his career. The little boy of New Jersey is satisfied, playing in the woods, and 'imagining it.'
He is proud to offer his breakout novel, Paper Boats, which is receiving accolades from fans and critics from all over the world
About Paper Boats:
Set in the desperate turmoil of Germany during the final chapter of World War II, 'Paper Boats' is an emotionally inspiring, fast-paced read with twists and turns, examining the inevitable crossing of ideology, prejudice and faith through two young boys, Otto, of Jewish faith and Joseph, a Hitler Youth. The most unlikely of partners, they are forced on an unforgiving journey, cast in deep personal conflict that is entangled with deceit and betrayal. As the unlikely duo’s journey unfolds, Otto and Joseph become bound to each other, forever challenging their individual perceptions of mankind and the world around them. Otto’s heart wanes, Joseph’s hatred swells, and without warning, the steady menace of war unleashes an evil, the likes of which they have never witnessed before.
As one reviewer shared, “You will laugh and you will cry, sometimes at the same time.”
