R.S. Scott hails from Canyon Diablo, Arizona, born to a Navajo Christian preacher. He is from the Kinłichíí’nii clan born for the Bit’ahnii clan. As the last unruly sibling of four brothers and three sisters, he grew up herding sheep while armed with a rifle and a horse named “Prince” for company.

As a self-professed geek, he expertly juggles work, music, fatherhood, and his love of writing.
His first book, Burning Sky, was the recipient of the Arizona Authors Association Award in 2016. Burning Sky will be released in its second edition in November 2019.
