The Liminal Hour: a quick read anthology series where the edges between worlds blur. Each episode dives into speculative realms, including sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. I created each episode to take under an hour to read and to be a standalone tale. Perfect for lunch breaks.
Scott McMillan is a multi‑genre author specializing in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and techno‑thrillers. Intricate story arcs, unexpected plot twists, and explorations of moral ambiguity, always anchored by compelling human relationships, are at the core of each narrative that distinguishes his work.
Raised in Wisconsin, Scott served a decade in the U.S. Air Force, during which he traveled to 36 countries and nearly every U.S. state, often in environments that felt drawn from the pages of a spy novel. These experiences sharpened his eye for detail and inspired a talent for transforming real‑world encounters into imaginative worlds more vivid than memory.
Today, Scott blends technical precision with creative vision, crafting stories that challenge perception, immerse readers in layered realities, and linger long after the last page.

But here’s the thing: Amazon’s algorithm doesn’t care about grammatical correctness. It cares about searchability.
If I hyphenate it, Amazon treats quick‑read as a single, exact-match term. Without the hyphen, the algorithm...
Hello and welcome to my new website! I’m thrilled to share my passion for writing with you through this platform. This first post is all about introducing myself, my writing, and what you can expect from this space.
