Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Scott Thompson was born in Newnan, Georgia. His family moved almost every year, but still remained in the South where he experienced the intelligent and eccentric people of the region who stoked his imagination and provided him with a lifetime of stories to tell.

His writings can be read in regional magazines like Georgia Backroads, Southern Writers Magazine, and anthologies. He is the winner of the Great American Novel contest in literature for 2010, and was nominated for Georgia Author of the Year, first novel.

His second published novel, Eight Days is a story of life, family, and purpose that follows Clive Kinsella, a man who dies, but before he can continue to Heaven, he must face his life's greatest regrets and fears. If he doesn't successfully navigate this reckoning he'll be trapped in the in-between as a ghost.

Thompson’s latest works are a series of Westerns that take place in frontier Colorado. In The Confederate, we follow a disillusioned Confederate veteran who leaves his home in Georgia to find answers in the American West.

Book two: The Coloradan, takes place several years after the American Civil War, former Confederate officer Robert Ambrose is still seeking peace. He has a home and a family, and is learning to enjoy life on a ranch in the Colorado Territory. All of that changes when rustlers murder someone close to him, leaving him with difficult decisions. Will he find the will to kill again to protect those he loves, and to bring justice to the struggling West?

Scott makes his home in Colorado and on the coast of South Carolina.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great western storytelling

If you love a good old west novel as I do then you have got to introduce yourself to the work of Scott Thompson. The Ambrose Series is full of great characteriztion, action advanture and the western that has always been part of the western mythology. The Coloradan continues the story in a manner that makes you want more. Scott is an excellent writer and I have really enjoyed both books of the series and hope that there will be a third. I strongly recommend the book to everyone but especially to the fan of the old time western novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second book in what is rapidily become a rich look at early Colorado!

This is the second book in the Ambrose Saga. This western really evokes a 70's action flick feeling at the same time Mr Thompson's very effusive upbeat outlook shines through. Ambrose has fleshed out into a more robust character that was very easy to slide into, and his wife has grown to equal him in how much her presence compliments him. Reading through this book I found I could easily picture the vivid Colorado scenery as well as the characters in the book. Ambrose's continuing struggle to leave behind the killer he was in the War, and desire to be a more peaceful man in the face of hardship is a compelling and deeply satisfying part of this wonderful tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just ONE more chapter...
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020

I have eagerly awaited this 2nd installment in Mr Thompson's foray into the Western genre... It was worth the wait. He has managed to create a hero you can believe in, complete with a past he is not proud of, a present which throws him unexpected challenges and a future he both anticipates and fears, just like the rest of us. A protagonist who gives us hope that we can all be better than we were yesterday. This is a book you should start on the weekend, otherwise you'll end up groggy at work the next day because you were going to read " just one more chapter."

Now we have to wait for Book 3
