Scott M. Smith tells the stories of heroes and heroines who have toiled in the shadows.

  • "Scott masterfully intertwines history with fiction, crafting a well-written, exciting, and suspenseful time-travel novel. His deep love and knowledge of history bring to life debates by the Founding Fathers over the Declaration of Independence, adding richness and depth to the twists and turns that keep you guessing."

    Praise for A Most Revolutionary Watch by Christine B.

  • “Traditional roles are upended as choices are made, illuminating challenges that seem familiar. Well-researched and fast paced, Smith’s novel resonates today - 250 years later.”

    Praise for The Spy and the Seamstress by Helen B.

  • "I read most of James Michener's books and enjoyed them immensely, but his characters come across as marionettes riding waves of history, whereas I perceived Mr. Smith's characters as creators of history."

  • "When history, time-travel and strong women show up in the same story, I'm all ears. I found the book to be a fun, fast-paced easy read."

  • “If you like believable thrillers that reflect the world in which we live, you will love 'Darkness Is Coming'.”

    Praise for Darkness is Coming by Jeff K.

  • “The level of detail about both historical events and mundane everyday human activities is remarkable. I felt very connected to the way life was lived 250 years ago, but in the context of an enjoyable ‘page-turner’ read where you couldn't help but gain historical knowledge.”

    Praise for The Spy and the Seamstress by Rick S.

  • “The Fourth Amendment is a great read. SM Smith's style reads like a Baldacci thriller with Harlan Coben-like local New York flavor; personalities, locations, and characterizations thrown in.”

    Praise for The Fourth Amendment by Heather K.

A Most Revolutionary Watch

Approaching my 68th birthday, I wanted to create a literary superhero representing my generation and gender - a smart, brave, fun-loving grandfather who risks his life, saves his country and attracts the pretty girl (again).

As a time travel story, A Most Revolutionary Watch is a work of fantasy, albeit blended with historical fiction. Writing it was great fun and kept me off the golf course.  Any relation to current events is completely in the reader's imagination.  A Most Revolutionary Watch is, however, filled with offbeat facts about the Declaration of Independence and its signers. The appendices include a listing of historical figures, a timeline of actual events in 1776, and the complete text of the Declaration of Independence.  Huzzah!
