About

 Scott is an AI-augmented novelist who uses advanced tools for research, outlining, drafting, and revision to accelerate discovery and sharpen ideas—always as a trusted assistant, never a coauthor. He maintains full creative control, voice, and ethics: every narrative choice is his, and every final sentence is human-crafted for clarity, emotion, and impact. Before he writes, he investigates—building timelines and maps, combing archives and newspapers, studying photographs and artifacts, and walking the streets where scenes unfold. He interviews experts, verifies facts across multiple sources, and keeps a meticulous style sheet so names, dates, and details stay true. While some scenes are dramatized, the world beneath them is authentic. Explore “Behind the Pages” at the bottom of every book page for source notes, images, and research deep dives. 

SCOTT HAMELE was born and raised in Kansas and has called the Kansas City area home since 1991. Married for more than thirty years, he treasures time with his two daughters and two grandchildren. Scott studied engineering at the University of Kansas, where he began writing articles and newsletters for university clubs. He was first published in an ASME engineering publication in 1992 and went on to author dozens of published articles in the commercial construction sector. In the 2000s, Hamele turned his research instincts toward historical fiction, developing more than a dozen story concepts—many of which have matured into his recent publishing journey. His work spans a wide range of genres, including historical fiction, near-future sci-fi, narrative biographies, and feel-good short stories. A prolific storyteller, Scott has more than two dozen works to his credit.

“Hamele pulls readers deep into his worlds—then propels them forward with relentless heart and cinematic intensity.”

Scott is proud to publish his books in partnership with Schuyler & Sons Publishing, an independent press based in Delaware - USA. The Schuyler family’s Dutch heritage reaches back to the early immigrants who helped shape the Delaware and New York colonies, and that legacy of grit, faith, and perseverance continues to inform their work today.

Schuyler & Sons exists to preserve and elevate the stories that shape families, communities, and history. They partner with authors to create historically grounded, emotionally resonant books—blending careful research with vivid, accessible storytelling—so that lived memories become lasting legacies on the page. Through attentive editing, thoughtful design, and ethical publishing practices, Schuyler & Sons strives to honor the past while inspiring and encouraging readers for generations to come.
