edit data

Scott Eichinger is an indie author known for blending human emotion, science, and suspense into tightly woven stories that explore how small choices ripple through time. He is the creator of The Option Cycle and The Five Seconds Series, two interconnected worlds where cause, consequence, and consciousness collide.

His writing is defined by grounded characters, psychological depth, and cinematic pacing—turning complex ideas about time and reality into stories that feel deeply personal and alive.

When he’s not writing, Scott studies science, history, and the human mind’s fascination with “what if.” He lives and writes in the American Southwest.
