Scott McMillan, a Wisconsin native, traded his early love for the arts for a high-stakes career in engineering, serving a decade in the Air Force and working on covert tech projects that could rival any spy thriller. With a knack for spinning truth into spellbinding tales, he now channels the fascinating traits of people he’s met across 36 countries and nearly every U.S. state into unforgettable characters. From shadowy government labs to vibrant global cities, his stories weave vivid settings drawn from a life of globe-trotting. Now settled in sunny Florida after three decades in snowy Colorado, this dog lover crafts gripping thrillers, horror, urban fantasy, and heart-stirring romances that linger like whispers in the dark.
