About the author

Dark, gut-wrenching thrillers that pose serious questions ...

Southern writer from Mississippi ... heros are clever yet haven't made their success. Scully's protagonists attempt to solve riddles, saving themselves in the process. Through foreshadowing and red-herring trails, larger than life elements may present themselves. Consider saving the fate of a nation, or enhancing posterity. Or simply protecting the people around him. Regardless, Scully leaves no regrets. His characters are plot driven, and usually possess flaws, disabilities, or enhanced strengths. The writing can be inflammatory and thought provoking.

[Meaghan O'Connor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an incredible resource for actors new or experienced! I also felt the author is a real advocate for actors which is refreshing!

And the last part about being "agnostic" about the results has comforted and reinvigorated me!
