  • About Me: R. Scot Johns is the author of "The Saga of Beowulf," an epic 640-page historical fantasy novelization of the Old English poem Beowulf. A life-long student of ancient and medieval literature with an enduring fascination for fantasy fiction and mythology, he has given lectures on such topics as the historical King Arthur and the construction of Stonehenge. He is a printer, a painter, and dabbler in prose. An early convert to the digital medium, he has recently been working with 3D rendering software to create art that illuminates the stories he writes. Since 2008 he has written the blog The Adventures of an Independent Author, detailing his often wandering pursuits through the field of self-publishing. He is currently hard at work on a four-volume illustrated novel based on Wagner's opera cycle "The Ring of the Nibelung" and its sources in Old Norse mythology.
