REVIEW: Between the Lines

by
Between the Lines - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got a great review of Between the Lines from Melissa at the Paranormal Romance Guild: What if you could hear the words behind the words? This is a fun combination of politics and magic, with truth being the one thing that ties it all together-or tears it all apart.  The main characters and the premise of the story seem relatively simple and easy, but Coatsworth takes this story into so many unexpected turns. In 100 pages, Brad Weston and Sam Fuller both have their lives changed in profound ways thanks to an anniversary gift. This short read was very … Read more

Lamplighter Gets Its First 5 Star Review!

by

Melissa at Paranormal Romance Guild just gave my brand new sci-fantasy short Lamplighter a five star review: This is a short story that is part of the Liminal Sky world. And it is fabulous. This quick read is the perfect dip into the world building skill of J Scott Coatsworth and his Liminal Sky series. From word one, you are yanked into the story and, somehow, in just a few sentences, you are immersed in what could be the end of the world. I really loved this little story.

REVIEWS for Flames!

by
Flames

Just got two great reviews for my new rerelease (first time as a stand-alone) novella Flames: Tony at QueeRomance Ink: “One of the messages here, if there is a message, is that people can change. Alex is one of those who manages to take those first steps into light. The touch is light here and there is no preaching. What you get is a sweet love story – a moment of darkness swept away by the finish.” Lee at Liminal Fiction: “…the ideas employed in Flames, and the clever use of metaphor, make this an excellent novella. Flames ingeniously parallels … Read more

Great new Dropnauts review!

by
Dropnauts review Anna Butler

The thing I always know I’m going to enjoy with any Scott Coatsworth novel is the worldbuilding because (i) it is my JAM and (ii) Scott is very good at it. Dropnauts is no exception. This is a well-realised, fully-fleshed world he has created here, of a destroyed Earth, thought unpopulated, and the attempt to reclaim and recolonise it from the Lunar colonies that are humanity’s last home. The devil’s in the details, and I just loved the way Scott builds pictures of Martinez base, and the Lunar city Redemption – particularly the latter… …the central themes of redemption and renewal shine … Read more

Four of them—Rai, Hera, Ghost and Tien—have trained for two-and-a-half years for the Return. They’re bound for … Read more

THE WEEKLY FIX: Dropnauts

by
Dropnauts

Dropnauts is arriving in just two more weeks, so I thought I’d tease you a bit with another excerpt. 🙂 This one starts a century after The Stark Divide, and reveals what happened back on Earth. This week, Ally and Aidan: Ally and Aidan followed the yellow stripes of the old, crumbling two-lane highway through what had once been the Central Valley of California. Aidan imagined it full of cars, commuters rushing back and forth across the now-empty valley. The land here was mostly open, with small stands of the sky trees here and there. Grass had taken over the … Read more

THE WEEKLY FIX: Dropnauts

Dropnauts

Dropnauts is arriving in just two more weeks, so I thought I’d tease you a bit with another excerpt. 🙂 This one starts a century after The Stark Divide, and reveals what happened back on Earth. This week, Chen Tien, the medic: Her family was been enjoying a picnic on the Chinese side of Riverside Park. Tai had climbed up onto the bright red rail of the bridge. She perched on top, watching the clear water flow over the round pebbles below. It glistened and sparkled, murmuring its secrets to her. “Tai, get down from there!” Her mother’s strong arms … Read more
