Scott Meyer

After an unsuccessful career in radio, and a middling-successful career as a stand-up comic, Scott Meyer found himself middle aged, working as a ride operator at Walt Disney World.

In his spare time, he produced the successful web comic Basic Instructions. He slowly built a following of fans all over the world, to whom he sold his first self-published novel, Off to Be the Wizard. The book's success brought him a publishing deal.

Scott Meyer is the bestselling author of seven novels. He lives in Arizona with his wife, their cats, and his most important possession, a working air conditioner.
