Scott Spangler

Scott was born in a small town in northeast Kansas, but spent most of his life in the Kansas City area. He earned his technical degree from DeVry Institute of Technology and then his bachelors degree from Rockhurst University. He published his first epic fantasy novel, "Portal to the Gods" in 2005, citing it as rough, but a tremendous learning experience. He has since published two sequels in the Portal series: "The Other Side of Existence" and "Dark Reign," as well as a fantasy/sci-fi novel, "Demon Hunter: 21 Days." Scott is an avid sports enthusiast. He wrestled, played football, rugby, racquetball, softball, and golf. He has since retired from most of these, spending his time writing instead. He is currently working on the fourth book in the Portal series, as well as a number of other projects. He lives outside Kansas City with his wife, three children, and two dogs.
