Hello, and thanks for visiting scottcahan.com. I am a Christian author/illustrator whose personal mission is to create science fiction and fantasy stories that are fun, exciting, and other-worldly. At the same time, my books communicate some of the truth and beauty of the God of the Universe. I am both a follower of Jesus Christ AND a science fiction nerd. I see no reason why those two parts of my personality should remain separate. I write the kinds of books I enjoy reading. My influences include books like The Hobbit by JR Tolkien, The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, and the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. You won’t find preachy books with a hidden agenda coming from me. Only fantastical stories with truth naturally baked into the plot. My books are all family-friendly. My science fiction novels include plenty of danger and off-camera violence, but you will not find in-your-face violence, sex, sexual innuendo, anti-God language, or offensive language.
BOOKS FOR KIDS – I wrote my Glazed Man & Rat Girl books when my kids were younger. I remember reading lots of great young-reader books to my kids and being inspired to create my own characters. I’ve always been a big fan of superheroes, and I also love comedy. Creating a series for kids turned out to be the perfect opportunity to combine those two passions. My Glazed Man & Rat Girl books are chapter books with lots of illustrations, drawn by me. More recently, I completed my Glazed Man & Rat Girl trilogy by writing and illustrating a graphic novel that completes their story arc. That book is called Planet of Rats. All three GM & RG Books are targeted at kids 7 to 12 years old.
Books For Young Adults – By the time my kids reached high school age, and I was ready to write something different. So, I tried my hand at writing science fiction aimed at middle and high school teens. I left out the illustrations and focused all of my efforts on writing a compelling, character-driven story with lots of sci-fi tension. The result was Caged Animals, and its sequel, Escaped Animals. It’s the action-packed story of a group of high school students who are kidnapped by aliens and carried away to another planet. I’m also proud to point out that the covers for both books are my original designs.
A Stand Alone Novel – My next project was Crash Planet, an epic story that combines science fiction with pure fantasy, appropriate for teens, young adults, and up. It’s about an escaped prisoner, a royal princess, and a giant beast who are forced to work together to survive the dangers that surround them on a hostile planet. The simplest way to describe Crash Planet is as a 3-way marriage between Star Wars, King Kong, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
