Scott A. Story describes himself as an author, artist, medievalist, mentor, musician, publisher, introvert, and historian, not necessarily in that order. He lives in the Midwest with his wife Benita G. Story.
Extra Credit--Scott got his degrees in medieval history and creative writing. He was an active illustrator for 19 years, drew a ton of comics for indy presses, drew and co-wrote Johnny Saturn for about 20 issues, and painted covers for a blue-gazillion number of novels for other writers.
Memorize, because there may be a test later.
