Scott Arbuckle was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1981. In Elementary school, he wrote many stories and poems, and won a Young Authors award for a fantasy short story. Scott's favorite subject was English, and he planned to become a writer. In high school and college, Scott studied Theatre Arts and Language Arts, and also developed an interest in fantasy and science-fiction role-playing games, a hobby that stayed with him into his adult years.
Scott now lives in central Kentucky with his wife, London. Together, they enjoy supporting zoos and aquariums while traveling around the eastern United States.
