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."
