Discover Scott's Thoughts

Out of my head to you!

Welcome to Scott's Thoughts. I’m thrilled you’re here—because I have so much I want to share with you. I’m here to make a life out of what I love, and what I love to write. I am passionate about Scott's Thoughts, althougth I really do not know what I am going to write about. One day may be a funny story, one may be political, I might do a favorite recipe, or a how to do tip, I will always try to make it interesting.  Explore my site, and all that I have to offer; perhaps Scott's Thoughts will ignite your own passions too.

Hear It From Me

Me

Sanford "Scotty" Champlin is a retired police officer that has turned writer. After working the streets for more than 32 years he has put some of his experiences on paper. Scotty, as everyone called him, worked for Mt. Vernon, Indiana Police Department for 22 years and was their Field Training Officer, Firearms Instructor and general Instructor, he also led the countywide SWAT team for several years. After leaving Mt. Vernon Scott took the position of Town Marsha of New Harmony, Indiana. A small tourist town in Southern Indiana, New Harmony is a quaint step back into the past. While there Scott's main duties were giving directions to tourists, helping little old ladies with an occasional burglary or drunk with a shotgun. Mt. Vernon sitting on the Ohio River and New Harmony being on the Wabash River, gave Scott plenty of time to be around the water, in his youth he and his friend Mike would build rafts and play Tom Sawyer, when he was older Scott just enjoyed a leisurely paddle in his canoe on the Wabash. Today Scott lives in Iowa and enjoys reading, writing, history, politics, and his dog Murphy. Scott is working on 2 more books, one being the true story of a friend and the hard road he traveled, the other a Historical Fiction set in early 1600 during the founding of America.

The is nothing more precious to me than my Family and Friends, oh yeah and Murphy. I also have a deep devotion to the United States of America, that does not mean I agree with everything the government does, but I will defend her with my life, because this also means defending my family and friends.
