Sylvan Scott


Biography

I wrote about robots.

When I was a kid, my first story was about robots that looked like people: the only survivors of a world-wide nuclear war. What can I say? I grew up in the 70's.

Since then I've sculpted all manner of stories about all sorts of topics. Science Fiction and Fantasy still remain favorites of mine and, usually, what I can express in speculative fiction I'd rather not express in other formats.

I love short stories and am working on making this writing bug that I've harbored for so many years finally work for me.

Here goes nothing.
