About Scott Ravede

Scott Ravede made his debut on the 3rd planet from the sun in a small fishing village called Shawmut (now known as Boston, Massachusetts). He currently resides in Deltona, Florida with his wife Lorna, having survived 3 hurricanes (Andrew, Charlie and Irma) along the way.  Scott received a BS degree in Biology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and got his medical degree from what’s currently known as Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine of Nova Southeastern University (or KPCOM for short). After medical school, he considered adding more degrees, but he lives in Florida and it’s hot enough as it is. He had a 27 1/2 year career as a non-fiction writer working in the emergency room physician (medical charting) but is now retired and can devote all his attention to fiction writing.  In addition to children's books, he has written a full-length play called "Mixed Singles" as well as several short stories and has a novel in progress. His daughter, Rivka, illustrates the books in his “Kid’s Work Cookbook” series of children’s books when she is not touring with her band, “Spirit of The Beehive.” His son Ethan is an accountant but does not do his taxes. When he’s not writing, he is enjoying several pursuits including wind-surfing, skiing and scavenger hunting for state and city welcome signs, as well as state capitols (it’s a photography project). Scott recognized a gaping absence in the children’s book industry of stories with tongue-twisting word play with endings with a twist without a message, and set out on a mission to fill this hole. The Kid’s Word Cookbook series is the result. If you have other questions please visit the FAQ page or Contact me!
