Scott's character-driven first novel An Innocent Client has six pre-publication deals so far.

In the meantime rights have already been sold in Japan, England, Germany, and France—a five-figure deal in each country! And Scott has also accepted a modest advance that is nonetheless on the high side for Bulgaria. More foreign sales are anticipated when Lukas Ortiz of the Spitzer Agency returns from the Frankfurt Book Fair.

feature An Innocent Client's defense attorney, Joe Dillard. We will keep you all up to date on the breaking news about this one. Scott was a defense attorney for years, and is now a full-time writer living in East Tennessee, where An Innocent Client is set.
