Scott Nicholson

Scott Nicholson is an American author of fiction, who was born in 1963. He has made a name for himself as a published author, particularly in the genre of thriller novels. While he is well-known for his full-length fictional novels, he has also written and published several short stories, comics series, and screenplays.

With over 800,000 books sold worldwide, Nicholson has earned the title of an international bestselling thriller writer. His work has gained recognition in the industry, including winning the Writers of the Future Award in 1999 and being a Stoker Award finalist in 2003. His popular "Fear" series was published by Amazon's Thomas & Mercer imprint, and 47North released his supernatural thriller "McFALL". In addition to his successful thriller and supernatural books, Nicholson has also published children's books, comics, and screenplays. His 2006 novel "The Home" is in development as a feature film.

Scott Nicholson's love for storytelling goes beyond just writing the story, as he believes that the reader completes the tale by bringing their imagination, experience, and heart to it. He cherishes the journey of writing and is grateful for the support of his readers. With over 30 novels, around 80 short stories, four children's books, some comic books, screenplays, and a couple of non-fiction books, as well as five collaborations with J.R. Rain, Nicholson has a wide range of published works. Many of his tales are based on supernatural legends from the Southern Appalachian Mountains, and he also writes mystery and suspense thrillers compared to the work of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. He has branched out into dark science fiction with his "After," "Next," and "MIM*X" series. Nicholson has also published books with Amazon's Thomas & Mercer imprint and 47North, as well as a number of audiobooks and foreign translations.
