With a passion for weaving complex characters and intricate world. D. Scott Lofthouse has lived a life defined by service — as a law enforcement officer, military veteran, educator, and author. His journey from the streets of Anchorage to the

quiet mountains of Utah reflects both discipline and faith, courage and reflection.

He began his career in 1986 with the U.S. Air Force, serving in Belgium, Guam, and Alaska as a Law Enforcement Specialist and Investigator before joining the Anchorage Police Department in 1993. Over the next two decades, he became Alaska’s foremost

authority on gang intelligence, serving as the primary Gang Intelligence Officer for the state and working closely with the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. His professionalism and leadership earned numerous commendations, including multiple Chief’s Letters of

Recognition and a Mayor’s Certificate of Appreciation.

A natural teacher, D. Scott also served as an adjunct professor of criminal justice at Charter College and lectured on gang investigations, leadership, and internet safety across the country. His years of service instilled in him a deep understanding of humanity’s dual nature — the constant tension between darkness and light — a theme

that lies at the heart of his writing.

Now retired from law enforcement, D. Scott lives in Utah, where he continues to write and teach. His fantasy series, The Chronicles of the Sacred Kingdom, beginning with

The Trials of Unity, explores the moral and spiritual dimensions of courage, leadership, and redemption. A devoted father and grandfather, he draws daily inspiration from family, faith, and the quiet majesty of the mountains that surround him.
