Scott Hall brings his captivating tales to life in his Steven the Bear book series. With a lifetime of experiences alongside his amazing wife, four wonderful sons, and now six cherished grandchildren, Scott’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. A former Air Force fighter pilot, Scott dedicated twenty-eight years of his life in service to his country before transitioning to a career as a pilot for a major airline. His passion for aviation and storytelling intertwines seamlessly in his writing, reflecting his unique perspective and rich life experiences.

Inspired by a character Scott’s son Ryan created during storytelling sessions with his own children, Scott, affectionately known as Bear to his grandchildren, embraced the opportunity to weave Steven’s adventures into his own stories, drawing inspiration from real-life camping trips, hikes, and the everyday joys of family life. His stories are infused with his trademark corny Dad/Bear jokes, adding humor and warmth to each page. Scott lives in San Diego, California, with his loving wife, Gigi.
