NEW REVIEW: Lander

by
Lander - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got a great review for Lander from Melissa at Paranormal Romance Guild and Queer Sci Fi: “…amazing world building… holy wow does Coatsworth take you on an adventure…. My favorite part of this book is the inclusion of so many interesting and strong characters. They are of all genders and do not follow the stereotypes found in so many books…. In a lot of series, the second book is the weakest. That is so not the case here… Fans of Science Fiction and Fantasy really need to add this series to their libraries. Five stars.” Read the Full Review … Read more

Rainbow Awards Honorable Mentions!

by

I’m thrilled to have not one but three honorable mention notices from the Rainbow Awards (which means I *could* be in contention for a win. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The first is for River City: “I absolutely loved The River City Chronicles. The author acknowledges Armistead Maupin in the Foreword, but truthfully, I loved this book way more than Maupin. I figured out fairly early on where some of the plot points were headed, but it didn’t matter. It was just lovely to be immersed in this world. If only this was ‘book 1’ then I could … Read more

AMAZING REVIEW: “The Oberon Cycle” – O.E. Tearmann

by

Just got the most amazing review of the whole “Oberon Cycle” – “Skythane,” “Lander,” and “the new “Ithani”: This is a world full of wonderfully flawed, wonderfully honest characters. Each person is a world in themselves, unique and full of interest. And each is allowed to follow their own arcs and their own hearts, for better and for worse… Quick, playful and clever, the style is catchy. The writer has a real flare for one liners to end a scene. At times they seemed a touch over-used, but never problematic. Ninety percent of the time, they were fun… Ooooh boy … Read more

Novel Approach Reviewer Chooses “Lander” as One of the Best of 2018

by

Just got word that Lindsey at the Novel Approach chose “Lander” as one of her fave books of 2018 – what an honor: Lander by J. Scott Coatsworth – I love a good sci-fi and high fantasy combination. It’s not an easy win for me, though. The world building has to be just right,with the fantasy and technology intertwined clearly enough for me to keep up with what is happening and not get lost. The plot still must be complex enough to keep me interested. Skythane, the first book in The Oberon Cycle, did just that. I couldn’t wait to catch up with Xander and Jameson … Read more

New Amazing Review for “Lander”

by
Lander Cover

I just got the most fricking amazing review for “Lander” from Amy Leibowitz Mitchell:   “All in all, this was a fantastic read. I’m definitely going to pick up the first book before the third one is out so I can have everything sorted about the plot. I can’t wait to see where this goes next time. For gender equality, excellent world-building, pacing, and plot, and a fantastic sequel that can be read on its own, this gets 10/10 fountain pens.”   OMG. 🙂   http://amleibowitz.com/2018/02/21/review-lander-by-j-scott-coatsworth/   Have you gotten your copy yet?

It hits home emotionally, it’s suspenseful, it grabs at you intellectually, keeps you thinking about all the possibilities that may lie in store, and yes, makes you anxiously await the final chapter… What joy!” —Melanie, Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words “‘Lander’ is the fantastic second novel in the ‘Oberon Cycle’ series… an explosive story that held my attention from the first page and … Read more
