Scott Morrison has been writing short stories and songs for many years. The Energy Caper is his first novel. His story about the luck of the draw in Nixon's lottery during the Vietnam war, "Draft Night," appears in the new anthology Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace edited by Maxine Hong Kingston.
While trying to learn a chord one day in 1979 he had a brainstorm for a poster that put everything you needed to know about the guitar up on your wall. So instead of going to law school, he decided to try to get rich quick and founded a company to publish The Guitar Poster. He figured to give it a couple of years, then sell the company and retire to write the great American novel on a yacht off Acapulco. He never did get rich, but over the decades he produced a series of music posters which helped millions learn to play, and the world was spared another lawyer. Finally, nearly thirty years later, he has finished the novel.
He recently edited and published a textbook for graduate students in psychology, Drugs and Clients, What Every Psychotherapist Needs to Know.
He also writes songs for the imaginary band, Scotty & the Skeptics.
