Just got a great review for “The Stark Divide” from Diary of a Wannabe Writer: I was blown away by the writing.

Just got a fricking amazing review for “The Shoreless Sea” from O.E. Tearmann: “In the spirit of great works like the Mars series, Bradbury’s explorations and the Long Earth, this is one of those stories that makes the alien tangible, and forces us to ask why we saw it as so alien to begin with. And once we’ve asked that, we’re invited to ask ourselves: if we can find humanity in the Other, can’t we find it in our fellow humans?… This series buoyed me up, raised my spirits and left me looking towards tomorrow with resolve. I can give … Read more
J. Scott Coatsworth has a new queer sci fi book out, the final book in his Liminal Sky trilogy: “The Shoreless Sea.” And books one and two are on sale! As the epic trilogy hurtles toward its conclusion, the fight for the future isn’t over yet. It could lead to a new beginning, or it might spell the end for the last vestiges of humankind. The generation ship Forever has left Earth behind, but a piece of the old civilization lives on in the Inthworld—a virtual realm that retains memories of Earth’s technological wonders and vices. A being named Lilith … Read more
Twenty-four years ago this month, I sent out my first novel – “On a Shoreless Sea” – to ten New York sci fi publishers. And twenty-three years ago, also this month, my nascent writing career came to an abrubt end. I knew I wanted to be a writer when I was nine years old and read The Lord of the Rings the first time. When I was a young adult, I had the idea for a world that would bridge the gap between sci fi and fantasy, offering a sci fi premise and a fantasy feel like some of my … Read more

Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink just gave me a stunning review for “The Rising Tide”: I’m already a huge fan of this author, and this series. The Rising Tide reminds me why I read and enjoy Science Fiction. I love love the enormous scope of the story and its diverse characters, and the social commentary along the way. The science fiction references were an added bonus for my inner SF geek. I also got a kick out of the fact that one of the characters in this one is originally from New Zealand!… I’d recommend The Rising Tide to … Read more
The reviews are rolling in. 🙂 Got a great five star review from Melanie at “Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words”: “There are moments when I wept, pages of high anxiety and suspense, times when I went as limp as a noodle when momentarily the action went slack, and yes, sniffled again when it all came back together in an astonishing climax! What a wild narrative ride this was! I loved every word of it.” Got another great four and a half star one from Pixie at “MM Good Reads”: “This is an amazing story, the world building, the character story … Read more
Eddy Tremayne rode his horse, Cassiopeia, along the edge of the pastures that were the last official human habitations before the Anatov Mountains. Several ranchers along the Verge—the zone between the ranches and the foothills—had reported losses of sheep and cattle in the last few weeks. As the elected sheriff of First District, which ran from Micavery and the South Pole to the mountains, it was Eddy’s responsibility to find out what was going on. He had his crossbow strapped to his back and his long knife in a leather sheath at his waist. He’d been carrying them for long … Read more
