Please Allow me to Introduce...Me

Hi, my name is Scott A. Reighard and welcome to my website, creatively named Scott A. Reighard. The only thing for sale on this site is me. Wait a minute let me correct that. The only thing for sale on this site are my services. I cover a variety of areas to write about using my vast and blessed experiences, as well as my background that includes teaching, military retiree, athletic coach, and business owner. I have a few other areas of expertise, but those are in the area of some of my hobbies: golf, sprint triathlons, kayaking, mountain biking, nature enthusiast, and writing. I have published three novels and a study guide that accompanies one of those novels. In addition to the novels, I have several short stories that I plan on making available on this site, in addition to some of my sappy poetry.

Also, please check out this other website snjmarket.com. I not only write, but I delve into the world of completeness. I think that is what Our Creator would want us to consider. Here, you will find a bevy of articles that deal with so many of life's situations, considerations, complexities, etc.

To say I am blessed is an understatement. Yes, I have created most of my opportunities through hunger, musts, needs, and so on, but I also wanted to create an environment of happiness, joy, and personal intrinsic successes for myself. Strangely, I always enjoyed testing myself. I wanted to find out what I could handle/not handle, endure, experience and so on without endangering my life or of those around me. Therefore, many of the choices I made, I always considered those around me, and how my decisions would affect them. 

When I was younger, I was much more cavalier in my thinking, doing, and saying. As I grew older, I had a responsibility to others. Some things had to change. I embraced those changes, and here I am just past the mid-century point and at a very happy point in my life. So, allow me to show you a brief look into my world and my hope is that by the end, you will enjoy the experience, or else I am going to get some pretty, heated hate mail. Either way, I hope you see something that will compel you to seek out my services and provide you with a quality, professional piece.

Death in the Valley Posts Strong Sales

Wow, it's hard to believe but just 10 months in to my third published book, Death in the Valley sales are strong and I thank all of you out there who have come to my rescue. Just kidding, but I really do appreciate all of you who have purchased, or downloaded the book on your Nook or Kindle.

Here is a brief synopsis of the book:

Andrew Keane is back as lead detective for the Roanoke County Police Department, and he faces the worst serial murder case in Roanoke history. In this tense and suspenseful story, Andrew welcomes a new partner, confronts life and death family issues, and battles the demons of forbidden love, not to mention trying to conduct an investigation. Just a few months removed from his last case, one that nearly cost him his job and his life, Andrew tries to solve a series of murders involving high profile locals and the killings rock the Roanoke community. Faced with media and department pressure, Andrew and his new partner embark on a roller coaster case that involves strange relationships, unscrupulous land deals, and back door politics.

I hope you have an opportunity to purchase my new book, and I would love to hear your comments. You can post them here or on whichever site you purchase the book.

Jamestown: Journey Back in Time, Second Edition

Hey there, I just wanted to let you know that Jamestown: Journey Back in Time, Second Edition is now available.

I decided to revise the story I first published in 2007. I think this second edition adds a little spice that will lend itself to be more attractive to a young reader. I also added quotes to the beginning of every chapter to act as little themes for each chapter. It could make for lively classroom discussion as the teacher asks them to find a relation between the quote and the chapter.

Another item that was upgraded was the Study Guide. Teachers may find it helpful to use as a supplement for classroom instruction. And it's a real bargain given what other study guides can cost.

The links for each book is available here, I do so hope you check them out.
