Ken Scholes (born January 13, 1968) is an American science fiction and fantasy writer living in Cornelius, Oregon, United States.
His first novel, Lamentation, was based on a previous short story entitled "Of Metal Men and Scarlet Thread and Dancing with the Sunrise",[2] and is the first of five in the Psalms of Isaak saga.
Ken's eclectic background includes time spent as a label gun repairman, a sailor who never sailed, a soldier who commanded a desk, a preacher, a nonprofit executive and a government procurement analyst.
His nickname is Trailer Boy in homage to his childhood home on the outskirts of a small logging town in Washington State.
