M. J. Scott (U.S.A.) is a country girl who has climbed mountains, has placed her bare feet in all fifty states, and has lived a life of unique expression of joy in personal and professional endeavors. Marilyn studied education at Manchester College, earning her BS in Education and following with her MA in Mass Communications at Norfolk State University. She completed all but her dissertation in the doctoral program of Education Administration at California Coast University. A retired gifted-students-teacher, she began her career working at Dr. Albert Schweitzer Elementary School in Anaheim, California. Later she spent 20 years in education in the public-school systems of two Virginia cities. In more recent years, Marilyn has had a photography and video business and has done philanthropic work. In 2015, she became co-founder of The Writer’s Council, an organization serving to encourage aspiring writers to achieve their dreams to become published. Prior to her publication of her first novel, Sport's Alien Fantasy, the author published four books dealing with personal and spiritual fulfillment, and travels of earth and awareness.
Sport's Alien Fantasy was first written by M. J. Scott in rough draft form in 1986. Her editor and publisher, Daniel Wetta, recognized the extraordinary story within its pages and corroborated with her to show its relevance to today's digitally connected world. The author and publisher believe that global connections and disconnections so prevalent in our lives currently had their beginnings in the mid-1980s. Because of this corroboration, Sport found a new beginning and ending. She lives to be, perhaps, the extraterrestrial being who can teach us what we need to know to master living and loving one another on our stressed planet.
