He has worked as a waiter, masseur, delivery truck driver, home dad, counsellor and musician. Scot's first fiction for young readers, One Dead Seagull, was published after he attended a writing camp and writing conferences with John Marsden. His many books since include Burning Eddy, shortlisted for a CBCA award and for the NSW Premier's Literary Award, and Gravity, shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Award. Scot lives with his wife and one of three children (the others are grown-ups), a poodle and some chickens in the bush in Eastern Victoria. He divides his time between writing and teaching tech and welfare at a secondary college.
