How Lord of the Rings & the Odyssey inspired historical novels, with Scott Gates
The CatholicAuthor Show
Scott read Lord of the Rings while hiking the Appalachian Trail. That grounded him in the details and immediacy of feeling what the Fellowship felt. His fascination with Civil War-era life, and how we all work through our own Odyssey of experiences, impelled him to write 'Hard Road South.' ABOUT SCOTT: Scott is the author of 'Hard Road South', historical fiction published by Blue Ink Press. His second novel, "Gone, the Redeemer," will be released in June. Scott grew up in Montgomery, Alabama, and currently lives in North Carolina with his wife and three kids. He converted to Catholicism in 2009 and is learning more about the faith every day.
