INTERVEIW: Me on MeansHappy.com

by
MeansHappy interview

Woo hoo – check out the interview on the Means Happy site: I caught up with science fiction author J. Scott Coatsworth to dig a little deeper into why the genres of science fiction and fantasy appeal to a lot of LGBTQ readers. Coatsworth runs Queer Sci Fi with his husband Mark, a site that celebrates fiction that reflects queer reality. You’ve talked about Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings trilogy as being your introduction into the world of fantasy and science fiction. What was it about Frodo that particularly drew you to that character? When I started reading Lord of … Read more

REVIEWS: The Rising Tide

by
The Rising Tide

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

Mama Me and the Holiday Tree

Jeanne G’Fellers has just released her new enby/pansexual queer paranormal fantasy book: Mama, Me, and the Holiday Tree.

It’s one of the many reasons Cent left home when she was eighteen. Mama’s difficult for anyone to manage, but now that Cent’s back home, she has to try. Mama, however, won’t acknowledge who Cent’s become, even though she’s repeatedly been shown the truth. It’ll take more than popcorn strings and paper snowflakes to heal the rift that’s formed … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: When We Fail

Hey all… In Church this morning (yeah, I go to church with the hubby), the Pastors talked about the idea of failing forward – how failing sometimes sets us up for success. Johannes Haushofer, an accomplished professor, even wrote a CV (a fancy way to say resumé) of all his failures, explaining it like this: Most of what I try fails, but these failures are often invisible, while the successes are visible. I have noticed that this sometimes gives others the impression that most things work out for me. As a result, they are more likely to attribute their own … 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

POINT OF VIEW: Relief and Sadness at the Finish Line

by
Scott GRL prep

Hey all, It’s a strange juxtaposition of events for me this week. Tomorrow my latest novel, “The Rising Tide,” comes out, the long-awaited sequel to last year’s “The Stark Divide.” Forever is evolving, both the world and its people, and at the same time leaving Old Earth far behind. And trouble is brewing… Just three days before this new book’s release, I finished the first draft of “The Shoreless Sea,” the third and final book in the Liminal Sky trilogy. Shoreless Sea is my second trilogy-ending book this year, after the Oberon Cycle’s “Ithani,” which comes out in February. And … Read more
