About the author
Scott Justin Bradley
1 book1 followerScott J. Bradley writes like a cartographer of lost empires, mapping the border where myth turns into memory and memory blossoms into legend. A fantasy and science fiction author with the heart of a historian and the instincts of a strategist, his work combines visceral grandeur with forensic precision, creating worlds that feel both incredibly ancient and eerily prophetic.
His signature saga examines crumbling empires, sentient mythologies, and the slow violence of time itself — landscapes where feathered dragons block out the sun and civilizations grapple with the echoes of their own forgotten gods. Every sentence is crafted for immersion, every narrative arc meant to linger like smoke after a sacred fire.
Beyond the page, Bradley functions as a visionary architect of story and heritage. Through his imprint, The New Appalachian Workshop, he stitches together storytelling, strategy, and cultural stewardship, guided by a profound respect for history, landscape, and the unspoken agreements between people and place.
His voice draws power from pulp epics, speculative philosophy, and the raw poetry of the natural world. Yet, it looks unflinchingly ahead — toward futures that seem inevitable, consequential, and dangerous in their beauty.
