Scott Drane has worked as a Training Analyst in Saudi Arabia for nearly 26 years. His travels and experiences both inside the kingdom and outside in the world aided in writing the Sapphire series. Although a first time author, he has presented poems on numerous occasions to a variety of the Saudi Royal family as well as a government Minister or two. His present employment has him driving 90 miles to and from work everyday, giving him ample time to construct the stories in his head before putting it on the computer.
