Scott M. Roberts was raised in Marquez, Texas, a bustling metropolis of 236 people. Since leaving Texas in 1989, he has lived in Wisconsin, Virginia, Utah and Italy. He calls Fredericksburg, Virginia, home now, and lives there with his wife and four children. There may also be a cat named Toonces.

Scott will be published in the upcoming Writers of the Future XXI anthology. He has written plays for a professional children's theater group, and worked as freelance reporter.

When he isn't writing, he enjoys listening to audiobooks and singing acapella. He also likes to annoy his family by speaking Italian at them.
