Scott Spangler earned his technical degree at DeVry Institute of Technology and BSBA at Rockhurst University.

Q. What got you into writing?

A. Not to sound like a sob story, but much of that began with the divorce of my parents when I was in first grade. Up to that point I had always been an "outdoorsy" kid who spent all his time playing sports and being a rambunctous little boy. But following that life-altering change, I found myself drawn inwards more and more and I turned to more intellectual and creati Read more of this blog post »

I really enjoyed this book. The premise makes a lot of sense and is very interesting - the exotic alien invaders have rendered the protagonists unable to use their primary drone weapons (I like the use of drones, as that is a trend toward which even ...more

Let me start by saying that I really enjoyed this book. I'm typically a slow reader and it held my interest enough that I read it fairly quickly (For me). I liked that it was "the same, but different." Meaning that it had some of the sci-fi/fantasy e ...more

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It's obvious that the writer took liberties with the language (it makes the uneducated Charles Ball sound like he was Harvard educated), but that is the style of 19th Century writing and doesn't really detract from ...more

If you like early 20th century sci-fi that is very much in the vein of Edgar Rice Burroughs, then you will absolutely love this anthology. They are very short stories (typically in the neighborhood of 30-40 pages) and might seem a bit dated by today' ...more
