Scott Norton lives and writes at the New Jersey Shore where they roll up the sidewalks in winter. He also composes and performs “high energy modern rock” with a band called Surrounded by Idiots. Recently, he was voted Pretty-Scary’s “Scary Stud of the Year Runner-Up”, finishing above torture porn director Eli Roth. Other hobbies include surfing, staying fit and battling a dermestid beetle infestation which serves as the basis for a new horror novel-in-progress entitled The Fold. For more info on his other novels and screenplays, check out www.scottStories.com and stay tuned for information on a web series based on his debut novella HorrorCon.

Scott graduated from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Communications where he majored in television and film writing and minored in Elizabethan drama, and then entered the family marketing business where he wrote a ton of industrial scripts and ad copy. In this time he learned a great deal about people, and the importance of an office that overlooks a low roof. Happiness, he’s been know to say, is often a handy escape route.
