Scott Thomas Nicol

Scott Thomas Nicol was born and raised in New Jersey. Although he doesn't write for a living (he works in the construction industry), he has always loved writing. "I would relish writing assignments in school. Even in college, I took creative writing courses as electives."

The Dr. Jim series of books he is creating, starting with Dr. Jim & the Special Stethoscope, has been something he considered doing for years. "I started fooling around with rhyming words and stanzas to tell this story. Finally, I got serious about it and created a cute concept about a young country veterinarian and this magical instrument he uses to figure out his patients' ills. It became a great little story. And the subsequent stories are (and will be) as well. These could be a feature animated film in the making!"

Scott is married and has three beautiful children. "This whole story writing is, kind of, for them. I created these cute stories with them in mind."


“It was cold on that Monday, January 23rd, when a little boy was born, in case you haven't heard. An infant that would become the future Dr. Jim. And all the people of the world would fall in love with him.”
