There's always more to the story.
As of now, I’ll be switching my pen name from S. L. Scott to Shana Scott to avoid confusion with another author. On my publications page any stories published as S. L. Scott will be noted.
Thanks for following me, and I hope to have many more stories under my new name.
I’m thrilled that my story “A Cure for Homesickness” is kicking off Escape Pod‘s month long Artemis Rising event. You can read or listen it to from their website or download it on any podcast app.
I tend to write more fantasy than sci-fi, but Krem and Max have made me fall in love with their buddy comedy in space and demand more stories of them. Far be it for me to ignore them. 🙂
Enjoy!
“The Curse of Manorville House” is officially available for purchase on Amazon for 99¢ or free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers.
The main character is loosely based on my grandmother who died this past January, so I’m pleased to see it found a home.
I like to think of this as the senior citizen version of Supernatural. An elderly woman living in a retirement home finds herself drawn into a journey to another dimension to break a curse that brings death to any resident visited by a strange cat.
Enjoy!
Mirrors & Thorns is now officially available for order in both print and ebook format.
My story, “Maria Morevna and the Deathless One” is included. The characters are very loosely based off of two in Russian folktales: Maria Morevna and Koshchey the Deathless One. It’s always fun to look at old stories in a new way. Continue reading “Mirrors & Thorns”

I’m happy to say that two of my stories have been selected for publication.

“The Legend of Koshchey and Maria Morevna” has been published in The Rogue’s Gallery anthology and is available in both print or e-book format.

I hadn’t realized that the Facebook icon wasn’t linking properly. It’s now fixed and you can like my page to get updated on posts as well as other writer’s blogs you might be interested in.
Welcome to the Woman in the Red Room. The blog is brand new, and my first full post will be next week, so feel free to follow me here or on my Facebook page to be notified of updates. I’ll be dealing with issues of world building in all its forms. That could be techniques to world building, analysis of existing secondary worlds, or even critiques of successful or unsuccessful worlds in pop culture. Sit back and enjoy the ride, or if you have a question or topic you’d like me to cover, head on over to my Questions page and leave a comment.
I look forward to talking with you all!
