About the author
Scott McKay
19 books9 followersA veteran of sports and political journalism and punditry, in 2019 Scott McKay branched out into fiction with Animus: A Tale of Ardenia, the first of four books in the Tales of Ardenia series.
Scott's writing career started all the way back in 1997 with the launch of Purple & Gold, a sports magazine devoted to college athletics at Louisiana State University. Over the eight years Purple & Gold was in existence it grew to over 15,000 subscribers and was known as one of the most comprehensive, well-written and insightful college sports publications in America.
Following a five-year hiatus from writing while pursuing opportunities in sales and entrepreneurship, Scott returned to the written word with the launch of The Hayride, an online publication devoted to Southern politics and culture. It was through that site's coverage of life and political events in Louisiana and elsewhere that Scott found the inspiration to begin a secondary career as a fiction author.
Animus: A Tale of Ardenia, published in September 2019, is the opening salvo in a sage of love, hate, war, peace, civilization and savagery intended not just to entertain but to provoke thought about good and evil and the border between the two.
Scott lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

A story based on the most significant issue that the west needs to correct in order to survive.
Institutions that erode pride in the west’s accomplishments instead of celebrating the progress made that western culture epitomizes. Institutions that propagandize the people to enable remaking the west into a “Globalist Utopia.” Institutions that turn our young people against their heritage.
In “Blockbuster,” Mike Holman takes on the entrenched, anti-western institutions, promoting the values that make the U.S. – and western civilization – worth preserving. A must read for all those concerned about the deliberate poisoning of our young peoples’ minds.
Important societal issues aside, the Holman novels are great stories, well worth one’s time.

I have read numerous works of Scott McKay, to include Animus and Perdition, in which, to paraphrase President Reagan, McKay demonstrated he can convincingly "spin a yarn," to the trenchant new thinking and political philosophy contained in The Revivalist Manifesto. I have now greatly enjoyed Blockbusters! The Mike Holman novel captures the reader's attention in a different way than anything I've seen in years. Great wit and turn of phrase! It convincingly presents a narrative that many of us feel—in fact, yearn for—could easily serve as a blueprint for fixing the cultural meltdown in America. It makes me hopeful for America's future! Well done! I highly recommend it.
