J. Todd Scott was born in rural Kentucky and put aside an early ambition to write to pursue a long career as a federal agent. His assignments once took him all over the U.S and the world, but a badge and gun never replaced his passion for stories and writing.
He’s authored six critically acclaimed crime, suspense, and thriller novels, including the Chris Cherry/Big Bend trilogy (THE FAR EMPTY, HIGH WHITE SUN, THIS SIDE OF NIGHT) and most recently, the 2024 International Thriller Writers Award finalist for Best Paperback Original, CALL THE DARK.
He’s also a film/TV producer and screenwriter, including the Lawmen: Bass Reeves series, for Paramount+
He is represented by Michelle Richter of the Fuse Literary Agency.
