Specter, a man apart from others

The Sword of the Dragon series has wrapped up over a thousand published pages... so far. Specter has seen those he loved betray him, he has slept the passage of a thousand years, and he has stood as the beloved and heroic guardian of the dragon's human offspring.

I have greatly enjoyed the evolution of his character. In many ways he is the Pilgrim in these stories; he just has not determined his exact destination. But the events of Key of Living Fire have set him on a new path; an unexpected journey that diverges his path from that of Ilfedo and Oganna.

To fans of Specter, I utter this dark promise: that though Specter's journey has diverged from our main characters, his journey will be followed in a separate series of books entirely focused on him. The storyline is building in my mind and soon will make its marks on paper and in my trusty laptop.

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24

In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.

I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.
