Meet the Authors: Scott Pearson

Scott Pearson's first publication was in 1987 with “The Mailbox,” a Minnesota Monthly Tamarack Award winner about an elderly farming couple. Over the last twenty years he has published humor, poetry, short stories, and nonfiction such as The Mosquito Book, which he coauthored with Scott Anderson and Tony Dierckins, and a number of Star Trek stories. “Out of the Jacuzzi, Into the Sauna,” in Resort to Murder is his first mystery story. Scott says, "What appeals to me about writing mysteries is trying to create real characters and then putting them into thrilling, scary situations that we all hope we wouldn't find ourselves in. And, of course, I like the idea of trying to create the puzzle for the character—and the reader—to solve." The motivation for “Out of the Jacuzzi, Into the Sauna” was a particularly trying trip to a Lake Superior resort. Please visit Scott on his website.
