Scott Oden

Scott Oden was born in Columbus, Indiana, in 1967. The youngest of five, he was raised in rural North Alabama, near Huntsville, where he still resides.  Scott's fascination with Egypt and the ancient world began in 1976, when his third-grade teacher showed the class slides from the traveling Tutankhamun exhibit. He studied history and English at Calhoun College and the University of Alabama before pursuing the usual variety of odd jobs -- from delivering pizza to working in the bindery of a printing company to clerking at a video store. Men of Bronze is his first novel. "Writing for him who knows it is better than all other professions. It pleases more than bread and beer, more than clothing and ointment. It is worth more than an inheritance in Egypt, than a tomb in the west." --From the Instructions of Dua-Khety, Egypt, Middle Kingdom (2055-1650 BC).
