Scott Holstad

Scott Holstad

Author/editor of 65-75 books, more anthologies, textbooks, books attributed to me, rumored to be published, ghostwritten books, broadsides, art/text collaborations + adding dozens of technical/scientific books I wrote in a professional capacity for various companies ... closer to 150 books in my life! BUT... I'm more than just that. A polymath, I've always had far too many interests so in addition to writing/editing/publishing, I've studied and worked in network engineering, law, teaching, systems engineering, counseling, vinyl, science, computer science, foreign policy, religion, history, E/SE Asia, security, national defense, neuroscience, think tanks, contingency planning, analysis. I tell people I know a little about a lot and a lot about a little. Married to a wonderful woman, one little cat, moved close to 35 times, now an old curmudgeon who still loves hockey.
