Mark E. Scott was born in Landstuhl, West Germany. He spent his early years in the Ohio Valley where he excelled in academics and athletics. He devoured Leon Uris's Mila 18 while discovering the world of historical fiction. John Steinbeck enthralled him with East of Eden, and he read The Complete Works of Shakespeare to appreciate our rich literary heritage. He stenciled Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" on his bedroom wall. On more than one occasion, he remembered Kipling's words.
He searched for spiritual answers in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", and briefly studied under a Zen Master. D. H. Lawrence inspired him to tell endearing short stories combined with mystic elements.
While engaged in meditational isolation, he discovered that every case of enlightenment was brought through a cosmic accident. Since Nirvana could not be attained through a frontal assault, he returned to the practicality of construction and custom homebuilding. Project management taught him sequential planning, foresight, and resourcefulness. His heroes and heroines are proactive in self empowerment. If the felinius huntress doesn’t have the skills, she works diligently to find a new skill set.
Mark E. Scott read Jim Butcher and loved the heroic wizardry of Harry Dresden. He longed to write novels like those, but had no vision for his own fantasy world. Little did he realize the White Wizards would lay the foundation for the Xuni Mystics of Felisia.

A few years later, he stumbled across the Carpathian Series of Christine Feehan and marveled at her high action and steamy love scenes. Paranormal romance had changed dramatically over the last twenty years, and now he had a vision for his own fantasy world.
For more than three decades, he carried the image of a feline woman in his mind. She was wild like the great cats, and her only ally was a settlement doctor. Beyond the basic premise of a half human/ half feline huntress he didn't know where to go with the plot. In the middle of Christine Feehan's Dark Series, he put down her novel, and declared to his wife, "I know how to write my own series." In addition to his debut novel, The Felinius Healer, he has composed work drafts for more than forty stories. The rich world of Felisia awaits the fantasy romance reader.
