Scott C. Smith

Scott C. Smith is a former long-time, award-winning news reporter and managing editor on the Massachusetts coast. He is now a freelance writer offering content creation services and remains committed to his creative first love – writing entertaining fiction. The New England-based Peter MacAlister Mystery series launched with book one, “Edie,” followed by book two, “Monique,” and book three, "Margot." Each novel is titled with the name of Peter’s latest client. And his clients – okay, full disclosure – happen to be mostly women. Hey, what can he say – he likes women. And some of them even like him. Peter’s a reporter by day, covering the grimy streets of his small city on New England’s South Coast. And he’ll bite at any chance to change it up – whether it’s slipping out of the newsroom for chili and beer at Danny Shaunissey’s, hunching over a couple of bourbons and chatter with the regulars at Eddy’s Café, or partnering with his pal, aging attorney Mory Wilbur, as they help others who have nowhere else to turn. Scott is also the author of his farcical, colorful, warm-action series, THE LGBT SUPERHEROES! Books I-III. It is endearing character- and plot-driven entertainment for an accepting audience, and is intended to celebrate diversity. The author wrote the novels to read like movies on the page – think Dick Tracy meets Batman meets Popeye. His stories about a band of fearless, queer, crime-fighting vigilantes show that quirky characters coming together for a bigger cause can become far greater than the sum of their parts, and that adversity as well as diversity can open doors to new challenges and adventures. If you enjoy Scott's novels, please review and rate them on their book pages. You'll have the sincere thanks of a grateful author. Having met and married in their 60s, Scott and his wife, Leigh, live in a quiet coastal community in Massachusetts. They have three grown children, one daughter-in-law, and two grand-dogs. They are proud allies of the LGBTQ+ community, with close friends and family members of it.
