Scott Appleton grew up in the northeast corner of Connecticut.
     Homeschooled right through high school, he developed a love for reading and writing from his mother and a love for science from his father. In high school he became involved with an astronomy group out of North Scituate, Rhode Island. His first published piece was an article for their newsletter. Upon graduating from high school at seventeen he traveled to Thailand as a student missionary and stayed for three months, journeying into the Kingdom of Cambodia and through the People's Republic of Laos. Upon his return to the United States he studied Math and English at a community college and later obtained a certificate in Creative Editing through an online course.
     Over the course of several years he created the Sword of the Dragon series and published multiple news articles, as well as works of poetry, and short fiction. Currently he manages his own publishing company, Flaming Pen Press, and travels around the United States promoting his books.

      He is also married to the sweetest wife in the world who sticks by him on his travels. Together they hope to glorify Jesus Christ with their life.
