Author

Ivan Scott's road to being a published author is sometimes as crazy as the stories he writes.

Scott has written ever since he was in elementary school and finally was able to put together three books, all romantic fiction, that look at the romance we have for each other as well as for life.

He has Dyslexia, so that is a struggle at times with his writing, but as he tells his two children, whom both have Dyslexia too, "Never use your challenges as an excuse. Use them to achieve greatness."

His first book was rejected 303 times, but he didn't take no for an answer and decided to self-publish and has never looked back. Writing the story, formatting it, creating the cover, and doing all the marketing seemed like a daunting task, but as he says, "When you have passion and persistence, nothing is impossible."

He lives with his beautifully saucy Redheaded wife, two troublemaking kids, and a Rat Terrier named Beesley in the Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs.
