I’m Scott Evans, a British author, ex-forces veteran, and endurance runner.

I write about survival, resilience, identity, and the systems people are forced to fight against — whether that’s the silence after military service, the psychological damage of war, or fictional worlds where memory, power, and control decide who gets to matter.

After leaving the military, I struggled to adjust to civilian life. The structure, identity, and purpose I had relied on were gone. Like many veterans, I found the silence harder than the noise. Running became my way back. What started as a way to cope became a tool for rebuilding discipline, mental strength, and direction.

My memoir, Running on Empty, explores that journey — from military life to mental health recovery through endurance running. It is a raw and honest account of trauma, grit, and finding purpose again one mile at a time.

My fiction takes those same themes into darker territory.

Bad Wiring is a gritty urban horror thriller about a forgotten veteran confronting trauma, isolation, and something far worse hiding in the places society ignores.
Memory Wars is a dystopian sci-fi novel set in a world where memory is currency, identity can be stripped away, and survival comes at a cost.
The Operator: Genesis is a military-tech thriller about covert systems, engineered crises, and the dangerous machinery behind modern power.

Across everything I write, the question is the same:

What happens to people after the fight is supposed to be over?
