SCOTT APPLETON

Author, Christian, family man. I specialize in writing epic fiction with traditional values, and inspiring non-fiction.

​

If you love unsanitized epic fiction with traditional values that don't shy from the gritty and the beautiful, then these are the books for you. Selfless characters, battles between good and evil, true moral dilemmas, romance between men and women, and a pro-life worldview.

​

I've written and edited a lot of books and short stories since I started publishing in 2008, which can make it confusing to know where you should start. So let me point you in the direction you should start reading my books:

​

Heroic Fantasy

Swords of the Six was my first novel and is still the best entry point into my epic fantasy world of The Sword of the Dragon. 

​

Inspiring non-fiction

My book The Soul of Story is perfect for your teen and middle grade readers to dip their pens in understanding why a story should convey Christian values, and the consequences those stories bring if they don't adhere to that.

​

Nostalgic elementary books

Dive into Father and Mother Mouse for readers 6 and up. This professionally illustrated chapter book embraces the value of family and a life well-lived.

For my readers, 

Thank you for loving these stories and characters as much as I do! Your dedication and encouragement are the lifeblood that feeds my writer's soul.
